The Lysozyme Air Filter is a bioactive filtration system that combines enzymatic antimicrobial action with mechanical particle filtration. It integrates immobilized lysozyme enzymes onto a high-efficiency filter medium to actively destroy bacterial cell walls while capturing airborne particles.
1. Superior Microbial Control
>99% reduction of airborne bacteria (tested per ISO 18184)
Continuous enzymatic activity (lasts 6–12 months)
2. High-Efficiency Filtration
HEPA (H13) or MERV 16 options available
Low airflow resistance (ΔP ≤50 Pa @ 0.5 m/s)
3. Safe & Sustainable
Non-toxic (no harmful byproducts)
Biodegradable enzyme layer
4.Easy Maintenance
Standard filter sizes (compatible with most HVAC systems)
No UV/chemical replenishment needed

Q1: How does lysozyme compare to UV or chemical disinfectants?
Method | Lysozyme Filter | UV-C | Chemical Spray |
---|---|---|---|
Safety | Non-toxic | Ozone risk | Toxic residues |
Continuous Action | Yes | No (needs exposure time) | Temporary |
Maintenance | Replace filter | Lamp changes | Replenish chemicals |
Q2: Does it work on viruses?
A: Targets bacteria only (Gram-positive). For viruses, pair with HEPA filtration.
Q3: How to check if the enzyme is still active?
A: Use lysozyme test kits (colorimetric assay) or monitor bacterial counts.
