Know Labs Confirms Particle Bulb Kills SARS-CoV-2
Know Labs, a leader in non-invasive medical diagnostics, announced findings from Texas Biomedical Research Institute showcasing the Particle bulb's efficacy in inactivating SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The tests revealed a 95% viral reduction after 5 hours, 99% after 6 hours, and 99.9% after 8 hours. Unlike UV-C light, the Particle bulb utilizes a Gentle UV method, making it safe for use around people. The results highlight the device's potential in combating viruses and household germs.

- None.
Know Labs, Inc., an emerging leader in non-invasive medical diagnostics, through its proprietary electromagnetic energy technology platforms, today shares with the public preliminary study results from Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) indicating the Particle bulb’s ability to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In addition, the Particle bulb can kill a number of common household bacteria and germs, for example E. Coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus.
