PhotonPure technology is a lighting technology now integrated into our Classic Pro air purifiers for an added level of protection. The technology shines on the filter to inactivate germs that are trapped in your air purifier's filters. Here's a comprehensive look at its benefits and how it works.
-
Inactivates up to 91% of Bacteria: PhotonPure technology utilizes a high-intensity narrow-spectrum light with a wavelength of 405 nanometres (nm). This light, part of the visible spectrum, is adept at inactivating up to 91% of bacteria that accumulate on filters. This process, known as photodynamic inactivation, targets specific compounds within bacterial cells, leading to their destruction.
-
Safer than UVC: PhotonPure uses a narrower spectrum of violet light than UVC that effectively inactivates exposed bacteria without deteriorating filter material. This pioneering lighting technology has been researched in US & Scottish medical settings and shown to provide disinfection without risk to doctors and patients.
-
Safe for Human Exposure: Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation, such as that from UVC, could lead to adverse effects on human skin and eyes. PhotonPure technology, operating at a harmless wavelength, reduces risks while maintaining effective germicidal properties.1
In summary, PhotonPure technology offers a powerful and safe solution for air purification, ensuring not only efficient bacteria inactivation but also the preservation of filter integrity and human well-being.
