Clean, Purified Air with Molekule
In the dental setting air quality has always been a concern but now that Covid-19 has become a pandemic we must be more conscious for ourselves and our patients. Many offices are trying to adjust to the new changes by increasing their levels of screening and by mandating a greater amount of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We want the best for our patients so we search for the best and most innovative ways to help protect them. One of my best investments during this pandemic for my practice was the Molekule Air Purifier.
The Molekule is a professional-grade air purifier that uses patented photo electrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology that utilizes free radicals to break down pollutants at a molecular level. The use of nanotechnology allows it to eliminate pollutants 1000 times smaller than the particle size tested as part of the criteria standard filters must meet to qualify as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA). PECO works like this: as air passes through the device larger particles are captured by the filter while microscopic pollutants such as bacteria, mold, allergens, VOC’s, allergens and viruses are safely destroyed - thus providing clean air. Some of the other air purifiers that I researched collects air pollutants but Molekule actually destroys these pollutants with their PECO technology. No air purifier can eliminate the risk of exposure to a virus, but I appreciate that Molekule’s products destroy the viruses and other pollutants it collects from the air.
Molekule carries four sizes to accomodate your practice or home needs: The Air Mini, Air Mini+, Air and Air Pro. I went with the Molekule Air Pro because it provides the widest coverage range and is ideal for open floorplans and office settings. I truly love my Molekule Air Pro. Its whisper quiet functioning and sleek design allow it to blend into any room or space. I would recommend choosing based on your room size.
A few colleagues and friends have reached out with questions and here are a few most frequently asked
1.Where should I place my Molekule?
- Molekule air purifiers will work in any room, best in a central location. Molekule Air Mini or Mini+ should be placed on a shelf, stand, or table to help maximize air intake. It’s recommended that it’s placed close to your bedside at night in what is known as the “sleep breathing zone.”
2. How often should I use my Molekule?
- It is recommended that you run your Molekule 24/7 for optimal air quality. Silent Mode offers reduced fan speed at a quieter level, while Boost allows for a speedier clean. You can adjust accordingly throughout your day, on the device or through the Molekule app
