Why the Puraclenz Core 750 Excels at Treating Mycotoxins Compared to Standard HEPA PurifiersUpdated a month ago

Mycotoxins—harmful compounds produced by certain molds—pose significant health risks, including respiratory issues, neurological problems, and immune suppression. While traditional HEPA purifiers are effective at capturing airborne particles, they often fall short in addressing mycotoxins, especially those settled on surfaces. The Puraclenz Core 750 stands out by combining multiple advanced technologies to tackle mycotoxins more comprehensively.

Understanding the Limitations of Standard HEPA Purifiers

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and mold spores.  However, HEPA filters primarily address airborne contaminants and do not neutralize toxins or pathogens on surfaces. Moreover, they do not chemically alter or destroy mycotoxins, which can remain active even after being captured.

The Puraclenz Core 750's Multi-Stage Approach

The Puraclenz Core 750 employs a five-stage purification process that goes beyond traditional filtration:

1. Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) Technology: Utilizes a patented Recharge Cell™ to emit ions that proactively neutralize mold¹ spores, viruses², and bacteria³ both in the air and on surfaces. 

2. Pre-Filter: Captures large particles like pet hair and dust, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent filters.

3. H13 True HEPA Filter: Traps 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns, including mold spores and allergens.

4. Activated Carbon Filter: Absorbs odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and mycotoxins, reducing their presence in the air.

5.  UV-C Lamp: Destroys bacteria, viruses, and mycotoxins that pass through or are trapped in the filter, ensuring they are neutralized.

Superior Mycotoxin Mitigation

The integration of PCO technology allows the Core 750 to address mycotoxins more effectively than HEPA-only purifiers. By emitting ions that neutralize contaminants on surfaces, it reduces the source of mycotoxins. Additionally, the activated carbon filter and UV-C lamp work in tandem to absorb and destroy mycotoxins, providing a comprehensive solution.

Proven Effectiveness

Independent laboratory tests have demonstrated the Core 750's efficacy:

• 95.1% reduction of Aspergillus brasiliensis (a surrogate for toxic black mold) in the air.

• 99.75% reduction of Candida albicans mold spores on surfaces. 

These results underscore the unit's capability to address both airborne and surface-bound mycotoxins effectively.

Conclusion

For individuals concerned about mycotoxins, the Puraclenz Core 750 offers a robust solution that surpasses the capabilities of standard HEPA purifiers. Its multi-faceted approach ensures that both airborne and surface contaminants are addressed, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
