Sanyo vient d’annoncer cet après-midi qu’il venait de terminer avec succès le développement d’une solution aidant à lutter contre le fameux virus H1N1 qui sévit depuis le printemps dernier. Selon Sanyo, sa technologie par électrolyse de l’eau serait capable de neutraliser plus de 99% du Virus en suspension dans l’air…. Mais cette solution serait également valable pour la grippe saisonnière classique.

Etant donné que ce domaine est extrêmement technique, je préfère vous laisser le communiqué de presse officiel pour plus d’informations.

Sanyo has already demonstrated through joint research with public institutions, the effectiveness of its electrolyzed water technology, developed over many years, to suppress various viruses including seasonal influenza. Now the company has confirmed through joint research with the Gunma Prefectural Institute of Public Health and Environmental Sciences that this technology is also highly effective for suppressing the new H1N1 (swine flu) virus that has been spreading around the world since the spring. SANYO will continue to pursue more research and applications for electrolyzed water technology, based on the verification data obtained through the recent joint research.

From the testing results for the infectivity reduction effect of electrolyzed water, the effectiveness of the virus washer technology was confirmed for the new H1N1 influenza virus, just as it had been confirmed for the seasonal influenza virus. It is presumed that viral infectivity is suppressed, due to the denaturing and break down of the viral protein necessary for infection, through a reaction of that protein with two types of active oxygen (electrolyzed hypochlorous acid and hydroxyl radicals) present in electrolyzed water.
