More hydroxyl radicals, greater benefits

nanoe™ X technology has evolved dramatically. Compared to the first nanoe™ generator developed by Panasonic in 2003, the nanoe X Generator Mark 2, developed in 2019, generates 20 times as many hydroxyl radicals.

The convex shape of the counter electrode draws moisture from the discharge point upward, stabilizing discharge, so 20 times as many hydroxyl radicals are generated.

Deodorising and inhibiting pollutants in half the time

A graph showing that with the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 2 pollen can be inhibited twice as fast as with the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 1

Testing organisation: Panasonic Product Analysis Center. Testing method: Verified using electrophoresis method in an approximately 23m3-sized test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ X released. Target substance: Cedar pollen. Test result: Inhibited by at least 99% in 12 hours. (L19YA009)

A graph showing that with the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 2 odours can be inhibited twice as fast as with the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 1

Testing organisation: Panasonic Product Analysis Center. Testing method: Verified using the 6-level odour intensity indication method in an approximately 23 m3-sized test chamber. Deodorisation method: nanoe™ X released. Target odour: Surface-adhered age-related body odour. Test result: Odour intensity reduced by 1.7 levels in one hour. (Y18HM059)
