New Delhi [India], October 27 (ANI/BusinessWire India): SHARP Business Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd, a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary of SHARP Corporation Japan, known worldwide for its unique technological products and solutions, announced that it has proven to be very useful with the new air legend Sharp Air and Plasmacluster technology. (PCI).
Advanced research was conducted at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, a world-renowned research center in the United States.
In this airborne virus study, a highly potent solution of Omicron BA.1, a different strain of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), was sprayed into a 102L test box in the form of aerosol after sending ionized Plasmacluster (ion density about 25,000 pcs/cm3) to verify the effectiveness of reducing airborne virus.
The results showed a significant reduction of the viral infectious titer (99.3 percent reduction after 15 minutes of exposure), indicating that the Plasmacluster technology is very effective against the different types of Omicron airborne viruses and is very effective. contagious.
Commenting on the development, Narita Osamu, Managing Director, SHARP Business Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd said, “Over the past few years, Sharp has introduced many product solutions and partnered with universities to better understand and address the challenges facing the pandemic. So the increasing number of changes in the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that have emerged in the past two years, we believe that research results will provide a new way to address human security problems.”
“Plasmacluster technology is ideal for reducing the risk of infection in real-time environments including offices, homes, hospitals, and vehicles. Our Plasmacluster equipment has grown and is capable of producing at higher ion concentrations, and we are still working on it. improve the results to be effective in the fight against the Coronavirus “he added.
Professor Moriya Tsuji, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said, “Since 2020, the disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has spread around the world and has become a scourge for humanity. In addition to vaccination, it is advisable to use several protective measures to prevent the widespread spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We strongly believe that the application of this Plasmacluster technology to prevent respiratory diseases hold great promise for our future society.

Since the introduction in 2000 of the first air purifiers equipped with Plasmacluster ion technology, Sharp’s air cleaning technology has proven effective against viruses, bacteria, mold and odors. Sharp has sold more than 100 million products across 23 categories, equipped with Plasmacluster ion technology, including air cleaners, air conditioners, refrigerators and other product categories. PCI technology has been tested and validated by more than 35 international scientific institutions including IIT Delhi.
Using Plasmacluster technology, negative hydrogen ions and positive hydrogen ions are released at the same time, and the positive and negative ions directly bind to airborne germs, fungi, viruses and allergens. By chemically degrading the proteins on the surface, this air filtration method reduces bacterial activity.
More than 13 test facilities outside of Japan have tested the effectiveness of Plasmacluster technology in preventing the action of harmful substances such as airborne Serratia bacteria that are a source of diseases in received at the hospital (Dr. Melvin W. First, US), avian influenza viruses. (Institute Pasteur, Vietnam), and clinical effectiveness in reducing the incidence of tuberculosis in tuberculosis hospitals (National Center of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases, Georgia).

Test results have confirmed that the number of infectious viruses has been reduced by more than 99 percent after exposure to Plasmacluster ions.
