What is HEPA?

HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. One of the only filtration technologies capable of removing even the smallest particles, HEPA filters are commonly used in controlled environments around the world, including hospital operating rooms, ICUs and incubators, and even medical laboratories and other high-tech research and manufacturing facilities.

Why Is BioGS HEPA filtration better?

Our advanced BioGS HEPA filtration system builds and improves on the traditional HEPA—composed of an electrostatic-charged proprietary fiber material, it captures over 99.99% of airborne particles as small as 0.01 microns3. Unlike traditional HEPA filters that can accumulate odors and mildew, our BioGS HEPA filters mechanically capture common household allergens (such as pet dander and dust mite matter)1 and airborne bacteria2, and inhibit the growth of odor-causing mold on the filter media4 to support optimum filter efficiency and prolong filter life.

Rabbit Air BioGS HEPA Filter

The BioGS HEPA filter traps common household allergens (such as pet dander and dust mite matter)1 and airborne bacteria2, and inhibits the growth of odor-causing mold on the filter media4

How does it filter?

In addition to the four standard trapping mechanisms of conventional HEPA filters, our BioGS filter adds another: electrostatic attraction. This advanced mechanism ensures the highest performance for even for the smallest particles.

Sieving: Large particles get trapped between filter fibers.
Inertial Impaction: Smaller airborne particles slam into filter fibers and get stuck as the air travels through the filter at high speed.
Interception: Lighter particles that follow the air stream can be captured on the fibers as it flows through.
Diffusion: Air and gas molecules help derail the trajectory of particles that are smaller than 0.3 microns. This makes it almost impossible for the particles to pass through the filter without getting captured by its fibers.
Electrostatic: Our BioGS HEPA filters are electrostatically charged—The particles flowing through the filter are attracted to the charged fibers.

Footnotes

1. Allergen capture claims are based on independent chamber testing conducted by Airmid Healthgroup laboratories (Report ASCR: 1688-01), which demonstrated the effective mechanical reduction of specific airborne allergens, including cat dander (Fel d 1) and house dust mite matter (Der p 1).
2. Airborne Capture Testing: Independent laboratory chamber testing demonstrates a 99.9% or greater mechanical reduction of specific airborne micro-organisms at the highest fan setting. Microbial capture efficiency testing conducted by Intertek Laboratories (Report #105550219COL-001) demonstrated a 99.9% mechanical removal of airborne MS2 virus-carrying particles and Aspergillus niger mold spores within 45 to 60 minutes. Additional testing conducted by SGS Laboratories (Report #QDF26-0040488-01) utilizing test standard AHAM AC-5-2023 confirmed a >99.9% mechanical reduction of airborne Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria. These results demonstrate the physical removal of airborne contaminants from a controlled test chamber; real-world performance may vary.
3. 0.01 Micron Efficiency: Based on testing of Rabbit Air purifiers in a test chamber under modified SPS-KACA 002-132:2018 (Korea Air Cleaning Association standard): Removed 99.999% of 0.01-micron KCl aerosol particles over time at highest fan speed. Results include natural particle decay.
4. Mold Resistance: Filter media treated to inhibit the growth of odor-causing mold on the filter media as per ASTM G 21 and AATCC 30 test standards. Test samples included Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium globosum, Trichoderma virens, Penicillium funiculosum, and Aureobasidium pullulans. This treatment is intended to protect the filter media only; this product does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs, or other disease organisms.
5. VOC Reduction: VOC Reduction tests performed by Intertek laboratories for A3 SPA-1000N.
