The science

Non-thermal plasma. Seven species. Six feet of reach.

Most air purifiers fight pathogens only inside their own chamber. AirROS makes reactive oxygen species leave the unit and keep working in the room — on surfaces, in the air, six feet away or further.

How it works

Two phases. Continuous. No downtime.

Phase 1: Dirty air + microbials enter the reaction chamber
Phase 1 · Chamber

Electricity → plasma → 5 species.

High-voltage, high-frequency controlled pulses — but very low amperage — ionize ambient air into non-thermal plasma. Atomic oxygen, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, superoxide and peroxynitrite break carbon-to-carbon bonds and neutralize pathogens on contact.

Phase 2: ROS diffuse out of the chamber to sanitize air and surfaces
Phase 2 · Room

Two species leave. Surfaces stay clean.

Gas-phase hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and trace ozone (≤ 50% of OSHA’s 24-hr limit) diffuse into the room. They continue sanitizing surfaces and air far from the unit — something UV, HEPA, ionizers and PCO all fail at.

The species

Seven oxidizers. Each one deliberate.

Five species work inside the reaction chamber. Two leave the unit and extend sanitation into the room. Each species is tuned for where it does the most work.

  • O01
    Atomic oxygen

    Phase 1 — destroys carbon-to-carbon bonds in the reaction chamber.

  • ¹O₂02
    Singlet oxygen

    Phase 1 — high-energy, short-lived oxidizer inside the chamber.

  • •OH03
    Hydroxyl radical

    Phase 1 — the most potent atmospheric oxidizer. Kills on contact.

  • O₂⁻04
    Superoxide

    Phase 1 — breaks microbial cell walls inside the reactor.

  • ONOO⁻05
    Peroxynitrite

    Phase 1 — cross-reacts with pathogens, disrupts protein integrity.

  • H₂O₂06
    Hydrogen peroxide (gas)

    Phase 2 — leaves the unit. Continues to sanitize surfaces + ambient air.

  • O₃07
    Ozone (trace, sub-OSHA)

    Phase 2 — 50% or less of OSHA 24-hr limit. Extends reach throughout the room.

Destroy. Purify. Defend.

Side-by-side with the six technologies operators ask about most. Energy and cost rows are measured at 30,000 cft of coverage — AirROS draws 68 W while UV-C draws 985 W to do less work.
