IQAir’s HyperHEPA technology has been tested and proven to filter biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses in their airborne state – viruses like aspergillosis, MRSA, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. HyperHEPA filtration was used by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority to help protect staff and patients during the SARS-CoV-1 epidemic in 2003 and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2020. 

The less secondhand smoke you breathe, the better. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 different chemicals, 60 of which are known carcinogens. These various elements are a mix of liquids, gases, and solid particles. The GC and GCX Series offers unrivaled protection against both particles and gases.

• HyperHEPA particle filtration features a powerful HyperHEPA pre-filter that traps particles of all sizes, including ultrafine particles and airborne contaminants like viruses.
• Cartridge-based activated carbon adsorption filters volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for odors.
• Cartridge-based chemisorption filters harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside a chemically active alumina pellet.
• Post-filter sleeve wraps each gas cartridge to prevent release of media dust.

The unrivaled performance of IQAir air filtration technology is achieved using only proven mechanical filtration technology. Mechanical filters such as IQAir's particle filters capture particles from the air on filter materials, including tiny viruses and bacteria as small as 0.003 microns. Why risk your health on less effective methods when IQAir offers proven protection without harmful byproducts?

IQAir looks beyond theoretical claims, testing the performance of each individual GC and GCX Series system at the factory to ensure that it meets our strict specifications. The results of the tests are detailed in a hand-signed Certificate of Performance, which is included with every air purifier. No GC or GCX Series air purifier will be shipped from the factory unless it is certified to provide a minimum of 99% efficiency against particles, including airborne contaminants like viruses and bacteria.

Swiss Made is more than just a label of origin. It is a sign of outstanding quality, uniqueness, superior design, innovation, precision and reliability.
