World’s First*¹ Clarification of Part of the
Inactivation Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 by nanoe™ (Hydroxyl Radicals Contained in Water) Technology

Through collaborative research with Associate Professor Mayo Yasugi of the Graduate School of Veterinary Science, Osaka Metropolitan University, it has revealed for the first time that the structural collapse of the SARS-CoV-2 is one of the causes of the inactivation of the viruses through exposure to nanoe™.

[PRESS RELEASE] World’s First Clarification of Part of the Inactivation Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 by nanoe™

nanoe™ destroys the viruses in pieces

nanoe™ comes in contact with the surface of viruses, damaging proteins on the cell surface including spike protein that get viruses bound to cells, as well as damaging the envelope.

Progressive degradation of proteins on the virus surface and damage to the envelop expand deformation. The envelope collapses.

Degradation of internal proteins including nucleocapsid proteins and viral genomic RNA. The virus is destroyed in pieces.

Which process does nanoe™ inhibit infection mechanism of SARS CoV-2?

The mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infecting the cell

An image of virus and host cell approaching

1. Virus approaches host cell

An image of viruses binding to the host cell receptor

2. Virus binds to the host cell receptor

An image of virus invading in the host cell and replicates

3. Virus invades in the host cell and replicates

What happens when nanoe™ exists?

An image of virus destroyed in pieces by nanoe™ effect

1. Virus destroyed in pieces by nanoe™ effect

An image of virus destroyed in pieces cannot bind with cell

2. Virus destroyed in pieces cannot bind with cell

An image of no binding, leading the virus not being able to invade into the cell and there is no infection

3. As no binding, the virus cannot invade into the cell and there is no infection

By nanoe™, certain viruses became less infectious

nanoe™ does not target specific molecules or structures of viruses, but damages SARS-CoV-2 by acting at multiple steps on the envelope, proteins, and genomic RNA that make up viruses. Viruses damaged by exposure to nanoe™ lose their ability to bind to host cell receptors, thereby becoming less infectious. These series of phenomena are considered to be part of the mechanism of how the SARS-CoV-2 is inactivated by nanoe™.

Paper about inactivation mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 by nanoe™

Inhibits activity of airborne,
adhered bacteria1-3 & viruses4-6

Certain bacteria and viruses are far too small to see

The difference in size between a certain bacteria and viruses is about the same as the difference between apples and sesame seeds.

A figure of size comparision between viruses and bacteira

The virus survives different periods on different surfaces

Survival period varies depending on surface, from 3 hours to 7 days.

*Copper naturally degrades certain bacteria and viruses.
Survival period differs depending on surface irregularities.
Viruses survive longer on smooth surfaces than on irregular surfaces.

1Airborne bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). Testing organisation: Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science. Testing method: The number of bacteria was measured after direct exposure in an approximately 25 m3-sized airtight test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Target substance: Airborne bacteria. Test result: Inhibited by at least 99.7% in 4 hours. (24_0301_1)
2Adhered bacteria (O157). Testing organisation: Japan Food Research Laboratories. Testing method: Measured the number of bacteria adhered to a cloth in an approximately 45 L-sized airtight test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Target substance: Adhered bacteria. Test result: Inhibited by at least 99.99% in 1 hour. (208120880_001)
3Adhered bacteria (MRSA). Testing organisation: Japan Food Research Laboratories. Testing method: Measured the number of bacteria adhered to a cloth in an approximately 45-L-sized airtight test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Target substance: Adhered bacteria.

Test result: Inhibited by at least 99.7% in 6 hours. (24_0300_1)
5Adhered virus (Influenza virus H1N1 subtype). Testing organisation: Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science. Testing method: Measured the number of viruses adhered to a cloth in an approximately 1 m3-sized airtight test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Target substance: Adhered viruses. Test result: Inhibited by at least 99.9% in 2 hours. (21_0084_1)
6Adhered viruses (Poliovirus type1(Lsc-2ab)). Testing organisation: Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science. Testing method: Measured the number of viruses adhered to a cloth in an approximately 45 L-sized airtight test chamber. Inhibition method: nanoe™ released. Target substance: Adhered viruses.
