AIRBORNE CORONAVIRUS
Independent trials conducted by
MONTH IN FM
DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022 53
Campden BRI have confirmed
that the HyGenikx air and surface
sanitisation system, from Milton
Keynes based manufacturer
Mechline Developments, is
e ective at removing airborne
Coronaviruses, including SARSCoV
2 which causes COVID-19. The
results of the trials proved that
HyGenikx removed up to 99.99% of
an airborne COVID-19 surrogate in
under 3 hours.*
These results back up the real-life
experience of our customers including
Cyrus Todiwala OBE DL, owner of Café
Spice Namasté who said: “HyGenikx
has proven what it can do for us –
keeping the air and surfaces clean,
pure and fresh, controlling odours
and providing extra reassurance for
customers so they can relax and
enjoy their meal knowing that we are
leaving nothing to chance to make our
restaurant Covid-secure.”
Nick Falco Product & Technical Director at
Mechline explains how the trials at Campden BRI
worked: “Trials were conducted within the Campden
BRI aerobiology laboratory to determine the e icacy
of HyGenikx towards airborne Phi6 - a recognised
SARS-CoV-2 Surrogate (the coronavirus that causes
COVID-19). Phi6 was nebulised into an aerobiology
test chamber
to represent
heavily
contaminated
air. Air samples
were then
taken every
20 minutes
for a period
of 3 hours,
to determine
levels of Phi6.”
As we move
into the winter
months it is
essential to the whole economy that we keep the
doors of business open. Unfortunately, physically
keeping the doors and windows open is not so
great when it comes to customer comfort and
sustainability. Indoor air quality, however, is a
primary driver when it comes to the transmission of
the Coronavirus between people.
As a tried and tested technology, HyGenikx has
a huge role to play in controlling infections - in
fact HyGenikx is the most rigorously tested unit
of its type on the market. A ordable and easy to
install, HyGenikx is a plug and play solution for a
challenging world.
HyGenikx units consume very little energy and
operate quietly and e iciently 24/7 without the
need for human intervention. The HyGenikx range
has models to suit every business from restaurants
to bars, hotels, care homes and o ices - with
specialised units available for food preparation
areas, cold rooms, washrooms and refuse areas.
Cyrus Todiwala, OBE DL added: “I wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend HyGenikx to other
foodservice or hospitality businesses as it is the
ideal complement to manual cleaning. It helps to
protect customers and sta , whilst extending the
shelf life of fresh produce.” **
