Sharp Air Purifier with Plasmacluster Technology Found Effective Against Coronavirus

• Study carried out by Columbia University demonstrates effectiveness of Plasmacluster expertise in lowering airborne novel Coronavirus
• Test outcomes present discount in virus depend by ~99.3%, inside fifteen minutes

SHARP Business Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd, a completely owned Indian subsidiary of SHARP Corporation Japan, recognized worldwide for its distinctive expertise merchandise and options, introduced that Sharp Air purifiers with Plasmacluster expertise (PCI) has been discovered vastly efficient in opposition to airborne novel Coronavirus. The superior examine was carried out on the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, a world-renowned analysis institute within the United States. 

 

In this airborne virus examine, a extremely concentrated answer of the Omicron BA.1 variant, a mutated pressure of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), was sprayed right into a 102L take a look at field within the type of an aerosol adopted by releasing Plasmacluster ions (ion density roughly 25,000 pcs/cm³) to confirm the effectiveness of lowering airborne virus. The outcomes confirmed a drastic discount of the virus infectious titer (99.3% discount after quarter-hour of publicity), indicating that Plasmacluster expertise is vastly efficient in opposition to mutated and extremely infectious airborne Omicron variants. 

 

Commenting on the event, Narita Osamu, Managing Director, SHARP Business Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd stated, “Over the past years, Sharp has introduced multiple product solutions and partnered with academic institutions to better understand and address the challenges posed by the pandemic. The latest study conducted by Columbia University Irving Medical Center is part of one such academic partnership where the results have reaffirmed the important contribution of Plasmacluster technology in addressing the impact of the pandemic. With the growing numbers of mutations of novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that have surfaced over the past two years, we believe that the study results provide a new direction to address the human safety concerns.”

 

“Plasmacluster technology is useful to reduce the risk of infection in real spaces including office, home, medical facilities, and vehicles. Our Plasmacluster devices have evolved in effectiveness with the capability to generate increasingly higher concentrations of ions and we’re constantly working to further improve the products to effectively contribute to the fight against the Coronavirus” he added.

 

Professor Moriya Tsuji, Columbia University Irving Medical Center stated, “Since 2020, COVID-19 outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread explosively around the world and become the scourge of humanity. It still continues to spread while continuously mutating to evade our immune system, thus posing an unceasing threat to our society. In addition to vaccination, it is desirable to employ multi-faceted protective measures to prevent wide-spread infection by SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is our strong belief that the application of this Plasmacluster technology as a countermeasure against respiratory virus infections should hold great promise to our society in the future.” 

 

Since the introduction within the 12 months 2000 of the primary air purifiers geared up with Plasmacluster ion expertise, Sharp’s proprietary air purification expertise has been discovered efficient in opposition to virus, micro organism, mould and odor. Sharp has bought over 100 million merchandise worldwide throughout 23 classes, geared up with Plasmacluster ion expertise, together with air purifiers, air conditioners, fridges, and extra product classes. PCI expertise has been examined and authorized by over 35 international scientific establishments together with IIT Delhi.

 

Using Plasmacluster expertise, negatively charged oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions are concurrently discharged into the environment, and the optimistic and detrimental ions immediately join with airborne germs, fungus, viruses, and allergens. By degrading proteins on their floor by means of a chemical course of, this air filtration methodology reduces bacterial exercise. More than 13 testing establishments outdoors of Japan have confirmed the effectiveness of Plasmacluster expertise in suppressing the motion of dangerous substances resembling airborne Serratia micro organism which is a supply of hospital-acquired infections (Dr. Melvin W. First, US), airborne influenza viruses (Institute Pasteur, Vietnam), and medical effectiveness in lowering the danger of tuberculosis infections in tuberculosis hospitals (National Center of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases, Georgia).
