In February 2023 TPA X8 Pro Air Sanitizer were
installed and tested in the Laboratory Virology Department and the Serology
Cool Room of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, one each room.
Before switching on the air sanitizer bacterial and
fungal air samples are taken on selective agar plates manufactured by the
Central Veterinary Research Laboratory’s own production.
After switching on the air sanitizer, additional air
samples were taken again after 5 days and 8 days of operation.
The agar plates were incubated in the CVRL's own
laboratory, the result was recorded both, optically and quantitatively.
There was a significant difference in improvement of
the air quality after just 5 or 8 days after the air sanitizer were put into
operation. As the labs of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory are
already cleaned very well by various filter devices (HEPA), a striking reduction
in the amount of bacterial and fungal colony forming units per liter of air
(cfu/L) could be determined.
Since various microbiological sources such as
employees, air conditioning, and other sources are permanently present and can
never be eliminated completely, the number of pathogens has nevertheless been
significantly reduced.
At the same time, the dust was permanently removed
from the rooms by the air sanitizer, thus removing the breeding ground for
pathological germs to grow.
The test of the air sanitizer has shown that it not
only removes dust from the air but also eliminates microbiological germs such
as fungi and bacteria at the same time.
The use of the devices in animal husbandry in closed
rooms under air conditioning can therefore only be recommended, especially in
summer when temperatures and humidity are high.
“We see enormous potential here
by keeping animals f.e. falcons in closed rooms, particular to prevent diseases
caused by airborne pathogens such as Aspergillus and E-Coli. It is recommended
to use the devices in human medicine as well. Here, too, a significant
reduction in airborne pathogens can be assumed. This would finally avoid any
air-borne disease.”

Director of the
Central Veterinary Research Laboratory.
