New Delhi; In order to solve the problem of disinfecting larger places, a team of AIIMS, IIT and Stanford alumnus have developed an innovative technology named "Airlens Minus Corona" The device will go to hospitals, bus stops, railway stations, shopping malls and other public places to sterilise the surfaces with water based technology which is not only cost efficient but also safer.

The technology works on the basis of electrification of particles. "The charged or ionised water droplets will kill the virus by killing its proteins and hence making it inefficient," Stanford alumnus Shashi Ranjan told.
"Such ionised water droplets can help in the oxidation of viral proteins into non-harmful molecules. Oxidation is one of the most potent antimicrobial tools," Ranjan said.
Airlens Minus Corona also got a certification from the NABL, FDA certified laboratory, sanctioning the device to be non-toxic and human safe for sanitization purposes (unlike the chemical disinfectants like Sodium Hypochlorite/Bleaching powder) to inactivate or kill the germs and pathogens.
