Molekule PECO-Filters remove viruses like coronavirus and flu strains from the air too, but they also inactivate them by up to 99.99% in a single pass. (You can read more about how Molekule destroys airborne viruses here, and keep in mind that no air purifier can totally prevent transmission of a virus.)

We manufacture globally including parts made in the US and Malaysia.

By combining PECO nanotechnology with HEPA filtration and air quality sensors, Molekule air purifiers can capture particles found in smoke, while detecting and destroying organic pollutants like bacteria, viruses, chemicals, mold, allergens, and more.

Molekule Air Mini+ has all the features of Air Mini with the added benefit of a sensor to measure airborne particulate matter levels and Auto Protect mode to regulate fan speed for optimal air purification.

After many months of research and interaction with the FDA, Molekule Air Mini, Air Mini+, Air Pro and Air Pro RX have received FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II medical device.

At the heart of every Molekule air purifier is a PECO-HEPA Tri-Power filter that combines the power of HEPA's 99.97% small particle capture efficiency with PECO technology that breaks down pollutants at a molecular level.

Molekule is a science and technology company headquartered in San Francisco. It designs and manufactures air purifiers that use photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO), a technology that the company claims may be useful against chemicals, microbes, allergens, and other forms of air pollution.

AeroClean Technologies, an air hygiene technology company, and Molekule, a market leader for premium air purifiers, have merged. The combined publicly traded company, moving forward as Molekule Group, Inc.

They do this by coating filters in a catalyst (PCO usually uses titanium dioxide) that reacts with UV light to oxidize gaseous pollutants and break them down into harmless molecules.

HEPA: Exposed to cat dander filtered by HEPA, which can capture 99.97% of the hardest-to-capture particles. PECO: Exposed to cat dander filtered by PECO, which has a lower capture rate but is designed to render allergy triggers into neutral components of the air.

And Molekule has agreed to withdraw its claims that the Molekule purifier relieves allergy and asthma symptoms. NAD found both that Molekule's two small studies of patients were unscientific and vulnerable to bias and that testimonials from doctors in support of the Molekule purifier were unsupported by evidence.

How long do Molekule Air filters last? For your Molekule Air, we recommend replacing the Pre-Filter every 3 months and the PECO-Filter every 6 months, or when your Filter Status Indicator says Replace in the mobile app.

Molekule air purifiers will work in any room, best in a central location. Molekule Air Mini or Mini+ should be placed on a shelf, stand, or table to help maximize air intake. We recommend placing your air purifier close to your bedside at night.

Final Thoughts On The Molekule Air Pro It has a modern, unobtrusive design that won't make you want to hide it in a closet. But its merit goes deeper than its aesthetics: The technology behind this air purifier is lab-tested and effective at reducing some of the most common causes of indoor air pollution.

The device will work most efficiently if you place it in the central part of the room and at a close distance from windows, because it is through them that dirt mainly penetrates. If you want to use the device in the bedroom, it is best to place the air purifier between the window and the bed.
