Developed since 1997, nanoe™ technology has been applied to various Panasonic consumer electronics products. Nanoe™ is a multi-polar discharge technology, focusing on discharging onto 4 needle electrodes to release free hydroxide ions (OH), which are crucial for absorbing factors that cause pollution and inhibiting virus activity.
Panasonic has not conducted verification tests on the new coronavirus strain using any nanoeTM emitting device or air conditioner with integrated nanoeTM technology. Therefore, the quantitative effectiveness of nanoeTM on new viruses has not been determined.
However, from 2009 to 2012, in collaboration with universities and research institutes in Japan and Germany, Panasonic conducted research and experiments on various viruses, bacteria, and other allergenic factors.
Improve indoor air quality to protect your health and that of your loved ones.
In 2011, Panasonic collaborated with Charles River Research Center (Germany) to categorize viruses based on criteria including capsid shape, genome, and size. Four types of viruses meeting these criteria were further classified based on their susceptibility to chemical inactivation, including Xenotropic murine leukemia virus, Encephalomyocarditis virus, Pseudorabies virus, and Porcine parvovirus. Testing showed a 99% reduction in infectivity of these 4 viruses within 6 hours. Results also demonstrated the ability of nanoeTM technology to inhibit the activity of viruses originating from different humans and animals.
Additionally, Panasonic collaborated with experts and laboratories in Japan to demonstrate the inhibitory effects of nanoe™ charged water particles on allergens from pets, including: Can f1 (from dogs), Fel d1 (from cats), three types of bacteria (MRSP (staphylococcus pseudintermedius), Bordetella bronchiseptica, and Pasteurella multocida), three types of fungi (Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Malassezia furfur), and five types of viruses (feline coronavirus, canine adenovirus, canine parvovirus, and canine herpes virus). Feline coronavirus, a strain of coronavirus originating from cats, belonging to the same family as the novel coronavirus, was confirmed to be effectively inhibited by over 99% using nanoeTM technology.

NanoeTM technology is integrated into many Panasonic products to improve health and living environments for everyone. Air conditioners and air purifiers with nanoeTM function simultaneously to clean indoor air by removing pollutants and fine PM2.5 dust, inhibiting bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Meanwhile, nanoeTMX technology in Panasonic commercial air conditioners (Cassette and ceiling) delivers 24/7 quality fresh air with odor elimination, bacteria removal, and air purification.
