The Science Behind it.
Novaerus NanoStrike Technology
Novaerus ultra-low energy patented plasma technology has been tested and proven to deactivate airborne bacteria and viruses, neutralise VOCs and reduce particulate such as mould spores, dust mites, pollen, and dander.
​
• Novaerus technology cleans the air 24/7. The portable air
dis-infection units are ideal for continuous infection control, odour mitigation and indoor air quality maintenance.
​
• Novaerus plasma is powerful, yet gentle. With no harmful
by-products, it is safe for continued use around vulnerable customers and staff, treating the air in real life conditions.
​
• Novaerus portable units are low-energy, low-maintenance and plug into any outlet. With no installation costs, the units can be easily moved by staff to the point of care.
Thermal plasma has been used for over 25 years in different sectors to clean and sterilise equipment and surfaces. The recent discovery of non-thermal plasma, operating at low temperature and consuming much less energy, has made it possible to generalise the use of plasma. Novaerus has taken this technology to the next level by applying it to air treatment, eliminating harmful microorganisms before they come into contact with residents, patients and healthcare staff.
Research
Utilizing NanoStrike Technology, Novaerus devices have been shown to safely and effectively reduce viruses, bacteria, mould spores, VOCs, and particulate matter in dozens of independent laboratory tests.
In case studies and clinical trials, our products have been demonstrated to reduce infections and improve wellbeing in real-world settings.
