Quote: "Daikin has been selling air purifiers for over 45 years and as a specialist in indoor air quality sees it as its mission to provide innovative solutions. The Japanese manufacturer's air purifiers and its patented air purification technology called Flash Streamer, which is used in Daikin devices, are effective against air pollution as well Pollen and viruses have long been proven.
In order to underpin the effectiveness of its technology once again, Daikin Europe NV commissioned the renowned French laboratory Institut Pasteur de Lille to test its range of air purifiers. It was formally proven that the Daikin models inactivate more than 99,98% of the human coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2,5 minutes. That is an important achievement.
The Pasteur de Lille Institute carried out the test with the HCoV-229E virus, a coronavirus closely related to SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 virus itself was not used for security reasons. The fact that the two viruses belong to the same family is a strong indication that Daikin air purifiers are effective solutions for reducing the risk of virus transmission and helping fight the coronavirus pandemic.
