Scientists from the <a href="https://www.battelle.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Battelle Memorial Institute, <i class="fad fa-external-link fa-sm"></i></a> a private nonprofit applied science and technology laboratory, tested Viruend™ in a composited paper media against live SARS-CoV-2 with the result that it significantly exceeds the filtration capabilities of standard N95 masks.</p> <p>Battelle evaluated the filtration efficacy of Viruend and reported it “achieved 98.8 percent removal of infectious SARS-CoV-2 as compared to 65.4 percent removal in a concurrent [Viruend] control filter.” The report further stated: “[Results] may indicate that the 1.4 to 1.6 log reduction of infectious virus achieved in the eluent samples (as compared to the control eluents) is the result of mechanical inactivation.”</p> <figure><p><<img

We are eager to partner with filtration companies to deploy this potentially life-saving medical countermeasure against the spread of COVID-19, its mutations, and future infectious viruses.”</p> <p>According to the Battelle report, the 98.8 percent live virus removal efficiency corroborates a previous Viruend test conducted by researchers at Zhejiang University’s BSL-3 in Hangzhou, China. “The Battelle, Zhejiang University and Tokyo results are important because they tested filtration material against live SARS-CoV-2 virus, whereas other materials now in use only tested against salt particles to simulate the virus,” says Liangjie Dong, chief scientist at Senturion+. “The finding of virus inactivation indicates in-situ decontamination.”</p> <p>Viruend was initially developed to remove arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals from wastewater and groundwater, the effectiveness of which has been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation. Current applications include consumer drinking water filtration and mining effluence remediation, as well as viral absorption in respirators, PPE, and air filters.</p> <p>Senturion+ is seeking strategic licensing, manufacturing, and distribution partners who can quickly scale solutions to meet the rising global demand for the multiple market applications that Viruend addresses.</p> <hr>
