Anti-COVID Air-Con Models by Panasonic, Confirmed To Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Viruses Using nanoe X Technology

On January 22, 2021, Panasonic Philippines officially announced that Texcell, a global contract research organization has confirmed the inhibitory effect of Panasonic Air Conditioner with nanoe X Technology on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

In September 2020, Panasonic verified, in collaboration with Texcell, the inhibitory effect of the nanoe X Technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals on the novel coronavirus in a small test space of 45L using the nanoe X generator.

For further investigation, Panasonic challenged to test using the air conditioner with nanoe X in a larger test space. Even with the more challenging test parameters, Texcell has now certified that the Panasonic Air Conditioner with nanoe X Technology has 91.4% inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus in the actual space of 6.7 cubic meters in 8 hours. The test was carried out in a closed laboratory environment and was not designed to assess its efficacy in uncontrolled living spaces.

What is nanoe X Technology?

nanoe X is a technology unique to Panasonic Air-Conditioner units that collects invisible moisture in the air and applies a high voltage to it to produce “hydroxyl radicals contained in water”. Hydroxyl radicals inhibit the growth of pollutants such as bacteria and viruses. They are characterized by being strongly oxidative and highly reactive but normally have a short life span.

Contained in tiny water particles, nanoe X has a long lifespan and can spread over long distances. It has an inhibitory effect on both airborne and adhered substances.

Creating Safe Spaces in the New Normal

With the threat of the novel coronavirus continuously looming and with vaccines not yet massively distributed or administered locally, Filipinos continue to struggle with safer breathing spaces and to ensure healthier home and work environments for loved ones and colleagues. 

With this study update, one thing is assured: Filipinos can get 24-hour cleaner and safer air indoors, with the presence of Panasonic Air Conditioners in homes, schools, offices, and businesses. In fact, in 24 hours, Panasonic Air Conditioners with nanoe X Technology have an inhibition rate of 99.7% on the novel coronavirus, also tested in a 6.7 cubic meter space.

Apart from its Split-type Air Conditioners with nanoe X Technology, Panasonic also offers a portable solution for the Filipino consumers, the Portable nanoe X Generator. The small device is also equipped with nanoe X Technology that’s proven to inhibit harmful air pollutants and viruses.

A Better Life, A Better World

Panasonic has been researching on nanoeTM Technology over the past 20 years since 1997 and has verified its effectiveness in a variety of areas, including inhibiting pathogenic microorganism (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and allergens, breaking down PM 2.5 components that have adverse effects on the human body.

Panasonic will continue to pursue the potential of nanoe X Technology to address possible risks associated with air pollution such as new pathogenic microorganisms, to create healthy environments and A Better Life, A Better World for people around the world.
