RDU tested against H3N1

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:41:01 +0000

To demonstrate the effectiveness against mutations of known viruses, we have tested our Xeralife Room Decontaminator against H5N3. The successful test resulted in a first pass filtration rate of 99 %. The test was conducted by: Avian Zoonoses Reserch Center, Faculty of Agriculture, Tottori University in Japan.

T-Zap (www.t-zap.com) is effective against all viruses and bacteria, regardless of mutations. Our product is destroying the cell walls of germs and is therefore not specifically made to target strains of DNA or DNS.

It works on all organic contaminants from 100 microns down to 0.001 micron. It is effective on all germs transmitted by contact with skin, by air or by water. It works indiscriminately, attacking cell walls. Most chemical based solutions such as antibiotics act on the cells’ DNA structure. By mutating their DNA, over time, germs are able to conquer chemical-based treatments. As T-Zap destroys cell walls, germs are not able to develop a natural resistance. Also, T-Zap is and will continue to be effective on all potential new strains including the yet to develop human-to-human transmitted forms of flu.

Room Decontaminator in Japan

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 02:18:09 +0000

With the presence of H1N1 and recurrence of other flu types, schools in Japan are increasingly searching for ways to protect their pupils. As a consequence, provincial governments require detailed accounts of sick days registered for all primary and secondary schools, K through12. Upon analyzing its data for the start of the flu season this year, the provincial government of Osaka realized that certain kindergartens have had significantly lower incidence of sick days than expected.

The Osaka health department decided to investigate this anomaly and determined that the Kindergartens in question had all equipped their classrooms with the Xeralife Room Decontaminator Units (RDU). As a consequence, the Osaka provincial government is now equipping its classrooms with Xeralife Room Decontaminator Units as a means of protecting against flu outbreaks. Given the vulnerability of the young towards H1N1, this action is starting with Kindergartens throughout the state.

As such, the sales of Room Decontaminator Units which has averaged 500 units per month through 2009, is now expected to increase significantly.

T-Zap offers a total solution for Hospitals

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:37:13 +0000

Various methods of disinfection and sterilisation are used in hospitals. Some require catalysts, others a base material. Specific applications are highly effective, yet harmful to humans and nature. T-Zap (www.t-zap.com), this patented technology from Japan, offers a complete solution for the needs of modern hospitals. More than 200 times stronger than Chlorine, T-Zap can be applied into paint, fabric and used in air conditioning filters. The versatility of this breakthrough technology allows for a total germicide solution in operating theatres, waiting areas and patients rooms.

T-Zap in current application

The following is an excerpt from an article, published by Tsukasa Sakurada, inventor of T-Zap. In this article, he examines the effect of T-Zap in different applications and supports them with control experiments. For the full copy of the article, please contact shanni@t-zap.com

Effect on general bacteria including MRSA

We used two samples A foundation cloth not being processed by the catalyst being a control

segment for comparison. The second one is a foundation cloth subjected to processing of optical hybrid catalyst being a test segment. Change over time is investigated as to how MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are annihilated in the ordinary environment. We confirmed that

Based on the results, in a certain hospital in Tokyo, two air purification systems are installed. They are continuously operated for about ten days. In one unit we installed a filter without treatment as a control segment for comparison. At the same time in parallel, a filter subjected to optical hybrid catalyst treatment is installed as test segment. General bacteria cumulated on the filter are evaluated. A difference of about three times is confirmed between the control segment and test segment. We can judge that general bacteria can be significantly controlled by the catalyst treatment filter..

a) MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the foundation cloth without treatment survive for three to four days and

b) those on the foundation cloth with catalyst treatment are almost annihilated in about five hours.

It hard to imagine that such a great amount of bacteria exists under the use environment, however, results of dry based evaluation are in line with the actual conditions. These results let us to be believe that the effectiveness in the actual site is sufficient.

Imagine a World

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:59:04 +0000

Imagine a world where hospital doctors and staff have multiple ways to combat antibiotic resistant viruses, governments have effective measures to protect against a flu pandemic, health authorities can resist the spread of drug resistant tuberculosis, large scale water sterilizers eliminate Legionella bacteria from air cooling systems, air purifiers capture and decompose airborne pathogens … and the only thing that remains of these deadly germs is carbon dioxide and water.

Imagine a world where you can render contaminated water drinkable in 10 minutes, swim in clean, clear pools with a minimum of irritating chemicals like Chlorine, enjoy an aquarium that stays free of algae for over a year… using only food grade, natural ingredients.

Imagine a world where paint prevents mildew and absorbs Volatile Organic Compounds known to cause “sick home” syndrome, airplane seats kill bacteria, curtains absorb odors, socks help cure athlete’s feet and will not smell even after 3 days of continuous wear, bed linens help patients recover from bed sores, toothpaste eliminates bad breath and helps mouth infections, towels resist mildew and help cure skin infections, clothes absorb body odors and tobacco smoke… with products that are safe for humans and the environment.

If you can imagine all this, then you have created the world powered by T-Zap.
