Small at heart but enormous in potential impact best describes Plasmacluster Ion technology which runs on a tiny dynamo. Our Sharp air purifier review will feature the ultra-high concentration Plasmacluster Ion generator. Measuring only 57mm by 28.5mm by 15.5mm, the little gadget produces the critical reactive agents.

[Overview of Plasmacluster Ion Technology|Plasmacluster Ion Technology Overview|Plasmacluster Ion Technology Synopsis|Synopsis of Plasmacluster Ion Technology]

Positive and negative voltages are applied to discharge electrodes inside the Plasmacluster Ion generator to produce plasma. After liquid, gas, solid, the three commonly known states of matter, there is a fourth, plasma. Containing electrons that roam free from any bond to atoms and molecules, it exists as a partially ionized gaseous state. Disintegration of water molecules that permeate plasma lead to the creation of negative ions (oxygen) and positive ions (hydrogen). Separately, water molecules in the air cluster around the oxygen and hydrogen ions, resulting in the distinctively stable Plasmacluster Ions being created. The highly unstable and super-reactive hydroxyl radical comes into existence once Plasmacluster Ions touch any pathogens. The quirky nature of hydroxyl radicals made them ideal for speedy bonding with hydrogen atoms lining the surface membranes of pathogens. The result; a disabled pathogen and a harmless by-product, water. Simply perfect! But is it real or imaginary?

As with many other products emerging from the field of nanotechnology, Plasmacluster Ions are invisible to the naked eye. Making matters tricky for individuals who rely on air purifiers is the inability to test the validity of the claims. Individuals really have no alternative but to base their decisions on tests results of Plasmacluster Ion applications. There are 2 ways to do this, in the real world or efficiency testing or in the laboratory or efficacy testing.

An established corporate player with a long track record of successes, Sharp has anticipated these concerns. Developed almost into an art by Sharp is the concept of academic marketing. This is a collaborative research approach to product marketing, whereby the effectiveness of Plasmacluster Ion technology is verified based on scientific data developed in conjunction with leading academic research institutions. From the joint efforts, scientific data generated provides a foundation for Sharp’s new products. Effectiveness has been further dissected into 2 separate categories, efficacy and efficiency. Between 2000 and July 2009, it focused on efficacy testing. Attention is now focused on efficiency testing, performed with the cooperation of Plasmacluster Ion technology end users.

On 17 November 2004, Sharp announced the results of studies by Professor Gerhard Artmann of the Department of Cell Biophysics and Bioengineering, University of Applied Sciences, Germany. A leading authority in the field of cellular engineering, Professor Artmann through the use of an electron microscope confirmed that Plasmacluster Ions damaged more than 60 protein types on the cell membrane of pathogens leading to inactivation of the cells (both bacteria and viruses were tested).

A finding of great significance was that the pathogens’ cell DNA is not affected by Plasmacluster Ions which do not pass through the surface membrane. This is claimed as an advantage over other air purification technologies like those using ultra-violet light which rely on DNA destruction to work. The risk of cancer from interference with DNA, possibly arising from the use of other air purification technologies, is alluded to with this claim.

This current Sharp air purifier review [highlights the efficacy tests that Sharp has conducted, together with several organizations, on various pathogens|summarizes t he efficacy tests conducted on various pathogens by Sharp and its partners|puts together some of the efficacy tests on pathogens performed by Sharp together with many organizations|condenses in one place the efficacy tests on pathogens conducted by Sharp|puts on one page the efficacy tests on various pathogens performed by organizations engaged by Sharp|spotlights the efficacy tests on pathogens conducted by various organizations on behalf of Sharp]. From September 2000 to July 2009, efficacy tests have proven that Plasmacluster Ions destroy 28 different kinds of harmful airborne pathogens. Quite impressively, the list of 28 includes potentially deadly viruses like the SARS virus, the H5N1 bird flu virus, the H1N1 virus like the one that caused swine flu in 2009 and bacterium like the pernicious MRSA that infects hospitalized patients.

The coxsackie virus which causes the common cold and the polio virus are also inactivated by Plasmacluster Ions. Also destroyed are bacteria like enterococcus, staphylococcus, white staphylococcus, micrococcus, serrata bacterium, sarcina, bacillus subtilis, escherichia coli, candida and pseudomonas. Also effectively eliminated are a whole array of fungi (stachybotrys, penicillium, mucor, cladosporium, aspergillus, alternaria), mite, pollen and other allergens.

The last reported efficacy test was reported on 27 July 2009 involving the Osaka City University Medical School validating the inhibitory power of Plasmacluster Ions on allergic reactions caused by mite allergens or mite dust (mite feces and dead mites).

[In summarizing|Wrapping up|In concluding|To wrap up|To summarize|To conclude] our Sharp air purifier review [with regard to|on|concerning|in relation to] efficacy testing, [we would highlight that a key factor is that they were conducted by organizations which have attained GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) status, an OECD guideline that attests the reliability of tests results produced|we note the importance of the GLP (Good Laboratory Practices), an OECD standard that lends weight to test results, status of the testing organizations|we place great importance on the OECD GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) status of the testing organizations as the test results attain international recognition|we emphasize the OECD GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) status of the testing organizations as this accords dependability to the test results].

An important factor, yet this fact is often given no weight by critics of academic marketing and air purification technologies. Yet another critical factor that is worthy of mention is that surely the work of a GLP laboratory can be scientifically peer reviewed. Held in the highest esteem, the scientific peer review is the key missing link that will transform the world’s perceptions of air purifiers and Sharp’s Plasmacluster Ion technology!
