The Enzyme Filter eliminates active bacteria propagation, spore growth and contamination found when conventional HEPA or other types of air filters are used. It is an excellent choice for better air quality in enclosed spaces.

Bactericidal Mechanism
The image figure below shows the bactericidal mechanism of the Enzyme Filter. The cell walls of the bacteria have been hydrolyzed by the lytic action of the enzyme, and the cell membranes have been ruptured by inner osmotic pressure.
Bactericidal Ability
Modified lytic enzyme, a natural substance, is immobilized on the filter fibers by the original technology, preventing perfectly secondary contamination without captured bacteria growth. The enzyme does not scatter from the fibers and is not consumed when it dissolves bacteria. Therefore, the enzyme has a very long lifetime. The Enzyme Filter can be used keeping perfect bactericidal ability until it is clogged with dusts.
Efficacy of the Enzyme Filter in Viral Inactivation
Viruses may be described as particulate matter which contains nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and some proteins.They are unable to reproduce on their own, but able to invade into host cells using spikes on the envelope to reproduce their copies. The Enzyme Filter dissolves viral envelopes to render viruses inert.
