ASM - Metallic Copper Contact Killing as an Antimicrobial Surface

Cartoon of the tentative events in contact killing. (A) Copper dissolves from the copper surface and causes cell damage. (B) The cell membrane ruptures because of copper and other stress phenomena, leading to loss of membrane potential and cytoplasmic content. (C) Copper ions induce the generation of reactive oxygen species, which cause further cell damage. (D) Genomic and plasmid DNA becomes de..

NOVEL - What is the difference between MB filter and nanomembrane filter?

MB filter is exactly called Charged Melt Blown filter and is relatively inexpensive. The pore size of the filter is larger than that of fine dust or droplets, but since static electricity of petroleum is loaded, it absorbs fine dust with the attraction of static electricity. Static electricity gradually dissipates by the moisture contained in the breath and disappears completely when it comes in..

Southampton - Using copper to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses
