BioGS 2.0 Four-Stage Purification and Deodorization
1. Pre-Filter
The Pre-Filter effectively traps and reduces large sized allergens, dust, and particles.
Traps and reduces :
- Dust mite matter allergen
- Large particles
- Pet hair
- Pollen
2. Activated Carbon Charcoal Filter
Made of high-grade granular activated carbon, our AC filter is much more effective than typical AC filters, which are coated with a thin layer of activated carbon. Chemicals and common household odors can be effectively reduced.
Traps and reduces :
- Cooking odors
- Exhaust fumes
- Greenhouse gases
- Household odors
- Pet odors
- Tobacco smoke
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
3. BioGS® HEPA Filter
HEPA is the most trusted filtration technology in the world, used by hospitals, high-tech clean rooms, and scientific laboratories. Our advanced BioGS® HEPA filtration system is true-HEPA rated. It builds and improves on the traditional HEPA; composed of a proprietary fiber material, it traps allergens and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and particles less than 0.1 microns in size at higher than 99% efficiency3.
Our BioGS HEPA filters traps and reduces common allergens1 and bacteria2 trapped on the filter to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life. Unlike traditional HEPA filters which could allow bacteria and virus to grow over time.
| BioGS HEPA Filter | Typical HEPA Filter | |
|---|---|---|
| Traps allergen and particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency and over 99% efficiency for particles less than 0.1 microns3 | Yes | Yes |
| Reduces common allergens 1 | Yes | No |
| Reduces the growth of bacteria and viruses on the filter 2 | Yes | No |
| Prolongs optimal filter efficiency | Yes | No |
Traps and reduces :
- Bacteria
- Cooking odors
- Dander
- Dust particles
- Pet odors
- Exhaust fumes
- Mold & fungi
- Pet hair
- Pollen
- Particles that can carry virus
4. Negative Ions
Negative Ions are odorless, tasteless and invisible molecules that are found near mountains, waterfalls and beaches. Some research studies show that negative ions help to alleviate depression and boost mental energy, but that's not all that these tiny molecules can do. Negative Ions help your air purifier by latching onto airborne particles, thus weighing them down. This allows the particles to get trapped more easily by your air purifier's filters, or to settle onto the floor where they can be picked up by your vacuum instead of accidentally inhaled.

- 3 Test data shows our HEPA filter (brand new or like-new) can trap particles 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency, and our air purifiers are able to remove 99.9% of 0.1 micron-sized particles from the air. Research data shows True HEPA-rated filters can trap particles less than 0.1 microns in size at higher than 99% efficiency.
