COVID-19: Panasonic’s charged fine particle water technology: Suppressive effect of mutant strains
Panasonic:
With the charged fine particle water technology of Panasonic “nanoe”
Of the new coronavirus
Demonstrated the inhibitory effect on mutant strains.
Alpha strain,
Beta stock,
Gamma strain,
Delta stock,
The company announced that it has demonstrated an inhibitory effect on four mutant strains.

The inhibitory effect was confirmed in the mutant strain.
By exposing the charged fine particle water for 2 hours,
In all mutant strains
It is said that a suppression effect of 99% or more was confirmed.
Charged fine particle water (nanoe):
Condensation of water in the air and high voltage applied to it.
“Generated 5 to 20 nm fine particle ions”
“The highly reactive OH radical is effective in suppressing allergens.”

Panasonic Announces Verification of Inhibitory Effect of Hydroxyl Radicals Contained in Water (Nano-Sized Electrostatic Atomized Water Particle) on 4 novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Variants
Osaka, Japan
Panasonic Corporation today announced it has verified the inhibitory effect of hydroxyl radicals contained in water on novel coronavirus variants, namely Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, in collaboration with the Japan Textile Products Quality and Technology Center.
Many viruses constantly change through mutation with some generating variants that may significantly affect viral infectivity and toxicity, which could lead to a global pandemics.
Currently on a worldwide rampage, novel coronavirus also generated variants,
four of which, as described above, have been designated as Variants of Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO),
namely, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. In July 2020,
Panasonic verified the inhibitory effect of hydroxyl radicals contained in water on novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)*1.
Prior to this announcement,
in 2012, Panasonic conducted a virus clearance test with a third-party organization and confirmed the effectiveness on each of the 4 categories in terms of biological characteristics.Based on this result,
Panasonic announced that“hydroxyl radicals contained in water” technology could be expected to have a inhibitory effect on new viruses*2.
In light of these facts,
hydroxyl radicals contained in watercan be expected to have an effect on novel coronavirus variants.
The company conducted a verification again in view of the current status of the spread of viral infection.
During the latest verification test,
the virus titers of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its four variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta)
were compared in a 45-liter test space with and without exposure to hydroxyl radicals contained in water.
As a result,
the test confirmed an inhibitory effect of more than 99% on all five types of viruses after two hours of exposure.Note that the verification results
are based on the test in a closed test environment and not in a space actually in use.Headquarters News | Panasonic Newsroom Global
