pollutants being destroyed by Molekule PECO filter element

PECO technology by Molekule—Destroys SARS-CoV-2 & more.

Proven by science

How do Molekule air purifiers work? Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that uses free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including viruses, bacteria, mold, ozone, allergens, and chemicals. By combining PECO nanotechnology with high-efficiency filtration and air quality sensors, Molekule air purifiers can capture particles found in smoke, while detecting and destroying pollutants 1000 times smaller than the standard filters must meet to qualify as HEPA.

Molekule’s PECO air filter destroys over 99% of SARS-CoV-2 in 1 hour.

New research shows Molekule Air Mini removed 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the air in a one-time release multiple pass test in a small chamber, PECO destroyed over 99% in a filter swatch level test in under one hour.*

These results build on past research with viral capture and destruction and demonstrate how PECO adds a layer of protection against airborne viruses.

The research & innovation behind our air purification technology

Under the microscope

PECO destroys pollutants at a microscopic scale, including chemicals 1000x smaller than what the HEPA filter standard tests for. With no ozone byproduct, a Molekule air purifier safely destroys a vast range of indoor air pollutants. As a science company, Molekule conducts extensive testing of its technology through its own labs as well as certified third-party laboratories.

Destruction

Black mold is oxidized and destroyed.

The need for a PECO air purifier in your home has never been greater.

  • Air Mini+ vs. SARS-CoV-2

    SARS-CoV-2 virus. More than 99% viral reduction in under one hour.*

    SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic and spreads through the air. Infection and severity is associated with exposure to a high viral load. Air Mini+ was able to reduce the concentration in the air by 99.98% and destroyed 99% of the virus on the catalyst in one hour.

    Testing location and standard

    Tested at University of Nebraska Medical Center, Department of Pharmacology & Experimental Neuroscience

    *Pollutants were not re-released into the chamber after initial introduction. Device operated on the lowest speed setting. No air purifier can prevent you from getting a virus. Molekule encourages the use of PPE and medical countermeasures suggested by government authorities.
