Plasma Science – Revolutionising Air Sanitisation with Cutting-Edge Technology

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Plasma Science identified a significant gap in the market—existing air purifiers struggled to quickly purify air laden with virus-carrying aerosols. Recognising the urgent need for innovation, Plasma Science developed an advanced air sanitiser that not only removes viruses like COVID-19 but also purifies the air faster and more efficiently than conventional systems. The product stands out by incorporating a washable HEPA filter, reducing long-term maintenance costs and enhancing user convenience.

 

The objectives

The primary goal was to develop a high-performance air sanitiser capable of removing viruses efficiently, minimising transmission risks. Additionally, the product incorporated a washable HEPA filter to significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs for customers.

The impact

The collaboration with A*STAR has enabled Plasma Science to bring to market one of Singapore’s leading air sanitisers. This innovation offers:

  • Rapid Air Sanitisation: Drastically reducing the time needed to eliminate viruses from the air, thereby creating safer environments for homes, offices and medical facilities
  • Cost Savings for Users: With its washable HEPA filter, the product cuts down on recurring filter replacement expenses, providing long-term financial benefits to customers
  • Recognition and Growth: Plasma Science’s innovation has been widely recognised, with the company tripling its revenue in a year and expanding its reach to key markets in Asia, Australia and Europe

This case study exemplifies how Plasma Science, with the support of A*STAR, is leading the way in air purification technology, addressing both immediate public health concerns and long-term sustainability goals.
