New independent testing conducted by the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), one of the world's top biosafety testing facilities, shows that ActivePure Technology inactivated over 99.9% of highly concentrated airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus—the virus that causes COVID-19—in an enclosed setting to below detectable levels in a 60 second testing period.
This recent testing round shows definitively that the technology works even faster than previously indicated. ActivePure’s purifying technology provides 24/7 full-coverage air and surface disinfection by deactivating pathogens in the air and on surfaces.
Air purification solution
In 2020 after the first UTMB test, Dr. William S. Lawrence, Ph.D., director of the Aerobiology Service Center at UTMB's Galveston National Laboratory, said, "These results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology in a laboratory setting." With ActivePure’s latest test results, he said, “Importantly, the device is still showing a very high level of inactivation after just one minute.”
ActivePure has been on the worldwide retail market as an air purifier for over ten years
In the wake of the pandemic, ActivePure has become the air purification solution of choice worldwide for commercial, residential, educational, and medical settings where pure air and surfaces are required. While ActivePure has been on the worldwide retail market as an air purifier for over ten years, its commercial use has become more prevalent during the pandemic.
Extremely high concentrations
“In addition to our independent testing data, we have real-world data that specifically looks at how our customer’s outcomes improved based on ActivePure, which further demonstrates our technology’s efficacy,” said Joe Urso, chairman, and CEO of ActivePure Technologies, LLC. “When it comes to SARS-CoV-2, we know that multi-layered protection strategies work the best to mitigate disease and protect occupants. ActivePure has become an important part of this multi-layered approach.”
The tests were done in triplicate. To determine the effectiveness of ActivePure, the live SARS-CoV-2 virus was sprayed into a test chamber at extremely high concentrations (7+ logs, or over 10 million particles per milliliter). In less than 60 seconds, the air purification and disinfection calibrated to the lowest setting of only 29 cubic feet per minute of air movement inactivated the concentration of the virus to below detectable limits of 1.6 logs, a reduction of 99.57 to >= 99.83%% but overall net reduction likely exceeded 99.99%.
Active purification technology
ActivePure is an active purification technology that uses Advanced Photocatalysis
The testing products only used ActivePure; all other purification technologies found within the testing product were disabled or removed. Developed over the past 27 years, ActivePure has successfully adapted what happens naturally outdoors for indoor environments. ActivePure is an active purification technology that uses Advanced Photocatalysis.
Advanced Photocatalysis technology mimics the organic process of photolysis — in this process, the air is cleansed when sunlight interacts with moisture and creates oxidative molecules. ActivePure brings this atmospheric cleansing phenomenon indoors, allowing the oxidizing particles to neutralize viruses, mold, and bacteria in the air and on surfaces.
Serving specific spaces
This unique technology is a game-changer as it actively neutralizes surface and airborne pathogens (including SARS-CoV-2) without chemicals, ozone and without the need to trap or filter contaminants.
ActivePure is affordable and customizable. More than 75 products are powered by ActivePure, from standalone portable products to products installed within heating and air conditioning units to handheld travel products. In addition, ActivePure units run 24/7 and can easily be combined for a custom solution serving specific spaces' unique needs.
