MS2 Bacteriophage

RNA virus. RNA virus. MS2 is used as a surrogate for airborne pathogenic respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2.

Methodology

Hextio was placed in a 1m3 chamber equipped with laboratory-grade sensors and detection equipment.

First, as a control, the challenge was introduced to the chamber with the device switched off, and the results measured (red line in the results below). Then, the test was repeated three separate times with the device running at the highest fan speed. The resulting data from the sensors was averaged across the three tests (blue line).
