23 Our Partnership with Institut Pasteur de Lille What is Institut Pasteur de Lille? J The Institut Pasteur de Lille is a research foundation, which was founded in 1894. Created to respond to the epidemics of the 19th century, the Institut Pasteur de Lille has been fighting diseases for more than 120 years through research on pathogens, the development of vaccines and drugs and the promotion of preventive measures and good hygiene practices. The Institut Pasteur de Lille is a member of the international network of institutes Pasteur. Present in 25 countries on all continents, the Network brings together 32 institutions united by common missions and values for the benefit of populations. The mission is to put science at the service of health. Today, the Pasteur Institute of Lille has 33 research teams, more than 800 persons, working every day to understand and fight against diseases, to slow down their development and to imagine the treatments of tomorrow. What does this mean for our air purifiers? J As a specialist in air quality management, Daikin sees it as its mission to provide innovative solutions and has been selling air purifiers for over 45 years. Its air purifiers and patented air purifying technology, which is applied in other Daikin equipment, have long since proven their effectiveness against air pollution, as well as seasonal pollen and viruses. To reinforce the claim of the effectiveness of its technology, Daikin Europe N.V. entrusted the Institut Pasteur de Lille with the testing of its range of air purifiers. It has now been formally proven that the Daikin models remove more than 99.98% of the human coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes. This is an important achievement. * Daikin device MC55WVM (commercial names MC55W/VB), tested by Institut Pasteur de Lille, removes 99.98 % of Human Coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes running time at ‘turbo’ speed in laboratory conditions (air-tight chamber with inner volume 1.4 m3, no air renewal). Human Coronavirus HCoV-229E is different from the virus responsible for COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, but belongs to the same family of coronaviruses. | Daikin device MC30Y (commercial names MC30YV/YB), tested by Institut Pasteur de Lille, removes 99.987 % of Human Coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes running time at ‘turbo’ speed in laboratory conditions (air-tight chamber with inner volume 1.3 m3, no air renewal). Human Coronavirus HCoV-229E is different from the virus responsible for COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, but belongs to the same family of coronaviruses. | Daikin device MC30Y (commercial names MC30YV/YB), tested by Institut Pasteur de Lille, removes 99.98 % of Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 in 2.5 minutes running time at ‘turbo’ speed in laboratory conditions (air-tight chamber with inner volume 1.3 m3, no air renewal).
