Puritize\u00ae, the first scientifically proven, patented product available for home use for killing more than 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2,\u00a0<\/em>the virus that causes COVID-19 on personal items, is now available to consumers<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Puritize, a new\u00a0ultraviolet light (UV-C)\u00a0home sanitizing system,\u00a0has announced the results of a laboratory study concluding that\u00a0Puritize\u00a0is scientifically proven to kill more than 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrie Martz, founder, and CEO of Puritize, a woman-owned and Arizona-based business, is recognized as a leader at the forefront of developing UV-C light sanitizing systems and advancing sanitizing technology for consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the terms \u201ccoronavirus\u201d and \u201cCOVID-19\u201d running rampant in traditional media outlets, many individuals don\u2019t know that SARS-CoV-2 is the virus itself. COVID-19 is the actual disease and symptoms that are caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus within our bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study was conducted by The Pathogen and Microbiome Institute (PMI)\u2019s COVID-19 Testing Service Center (CTSC) at Northern Arizona University. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Findings from this study show that the Puritize device\u2019s technology is an effective way to sanitize personal items that are used daily and can help avoid passing on germs, bacteria, and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, to others or oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of our scientific research, very few labs in the country were given access to the \u201croot\u201d of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, because you have to be in special labs to perform legitimate testing.

We did not want to bring a product onto the market that only claimed, \u201cit kills 99.9% of germs and viruses,\u201d which most products are stating today. We wanted proof.

We were fortunate that Northern Arizona University\u2019s lab-tested Puritize on the SARS-CoV-2 virus and that we were able to test with another independent lab on other viruses such as the flu H1N1. <\/p>

This study\u2019s findings show that\u00a0Puritize\u00a0is effective at killing more than 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing results on\u00a0the\u00a0Puritize\u00a0device were indistinguishable from high heat, another effective condition for killing the SARS-CoV-2 virus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Because NAU played an important role in allowing Puritize to be proven as a tool to terminate the SARS-CoV-2 virus, Puritize donated the devices to NAU health clinics to hinder the spread of the virus on a college campus. If a student tested positive, they would take the system home (or to their dorm) and sanitize anything they had been in contact with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of just telling students to leave and \u201cquarantine\u201d for several weeks, Puritize allowed for NAU staff and students to properly sanitize their personal belongings, as well as anyone else\u2019s belongings they may have come in contact with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puritize\u00a0could be an important tool to kill viruses, including CoV-2, on personal items, especially\u00a0as the pandemic continues and the cold and flu season approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UV-C sanitization devices have been trusted in hospitals and clinics for decades, and now\u00a0Puritize\u00a0has made clinical-grade sanitization accessible and affordable to the masses with a new essential tool for your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puritize\u00a0is the first scientifically tested system using patented Advanced Refraction UV-C technology that provides 360-degree sanitization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puritize\u2019s\u00a0waffle-like grid system creates maximum light bounce, ensuring every crack and crevice of complex devices are fully sanitized.\u00a0Ordinary UV-C boxes don\u2019t offer the patented Advanced Refraction Technology that\u00a0Puritize\u00a0does and can only reach the surface of items, thus missing the unseen area where hidden germs thrive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
