99.98% of coronavirus removed in 2.5 minutes*
As tested by Institut Pasteur de Lille
According to tests performed in the laboratories of the Institut Pasteur de Lille, Daikin’s air purifiers remove more than 99.98% the human coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes*. This virus is of the same family as SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic.
The units have also been evaluated as 99.93% effective against the H1N1 virus in 2.5 minutes*.
H1N1 is the virus causing common flu. This means Daikin’s air purifiers are an additional measure in the fight against respiratory diseases. Our compact plug-and-play purifiers, whose effectiveness is achieved through a combination of the high performance electrostatic HEPA filter, which traps the virus, followed by an intense exposure to Daikin’s patented Flash Streamer technology, which removes the virus, can strongly contribute to reducing the risk of respiratory virus transmission.

FAQ
The Daikin air purifier is equipped with an advanced filter system that captures viruses, bacteria and allergens meanwhile its patented Streamer technology takes care of removing it and keeping both the indoor air and the air purifier filters clean. The prefilter captures larger particles, trapping them inside. Thanks to its electrostatic capacity, Daikin HEPA filter catches pollutants without clogging the mesh, meaning that it does not need to be replaced for 10 years. The deodorising filter captures and absorbs odours without becoming saturated as happens with traditional activated carbon filters. Finally, the humidifier filter (exclusive to Daikin air purifier model equipped with humidifier) eliminates bacteria in the water tank thanks to the double layer filter with silver ion cartridge.
Yes, the Daikin air purifier has been tested and certified by the prestigious ECARF institute as an ideal product for people with allergies. Above that the Daikin Air purifier is also recognized as efficient by BAF (British Allergy Foundation). This seal reassures that the product is efficient at reducing small particles which may include allergens, bacteria and viruses.

2 Testing organization: Japan Food Research Laboratories. Test number: 15044988001-0201. Test method: Attached a test piece inoculated with bacteria liquid on the upstream side of a dust collection filter installed in an air purifier, and operated it in a test area of 25 m³. Counted the number of live bacteria after five hours. Test result: Reduced by more than 99% in five hours. Test unit: Tested with MCK55S (Japanese model), a model equivalent to MCK55W series (turbo operation).
3 Various allergens were irradiated by streamer discharge and the breakdown of protein in the allergens was verified using the ELISA method, cataphoresis, or an electron microscope (Joint research with Wakayama Medical University). Test example: ‘Japanese cedar pollen Cryj-1’; Test result: 99,6% or more decomposed and removed in 2 hours.

Powerful humidification to protect against air dryness and viruses
- Protects the skin, the throat and the nostrils from dryness.
- Protects against viruses by maintaining appropriate humidity of the room.
- Maintains comfortable room humidity levels (40 to 60% RH)
- Streamer eliminates bacteria on the humidifying filter.
High Performance HEPA filter to catch fine particles of dust
Removes 99% of particles between 0.1μm and 2.5μm in size
The filter collects dust efficiently with electrostatic forces. It is not prone to clogging compared with non-electrostatic HEPA filters which collect particles only by the fineness of the mesh.
Electrostatic HEPA filter
Removes 99,97% of fine particles of 0,3μm Filter fiber itself is charged with static electricity, and collects particles efficiently. Doesn’t clog easily, hence causes low pressure loss.
Therefore, a larger amount of air can pass through the filter.
VS
The filter can purify a larger amount of air!
Non-electrostatic filter
Because it catches particles relying only on mesh size, it is necessary to make mesh finer, making it easy to be clogged and cause high pressure loss.
