The Mini-Mate AS150mm : Creates a powerful invisible ionic reduction zone against many toxic challenges about the head of the wearer without impeding vision or movement. The Minimate AS150mm guards the wearers breathing zone even at 8 inches away from the nose. Always "on" for continuous reduction of inhaled toxic chemicals, particles, or germs.

Tested by leading authorities in exposure assessment in government sponsored laboratories. Clinically tested against germ spores. Hundreds of thousands sold worldwide.

Effectiveness: A year long study by eminent researchers has concluded that the Mini-Mate can substantially prevent the inhalation of toxic particles such as germs, smoke, dust, pollens, mould spores, allergens, fungi, and the most dangerous particles that would otherwise be trapped in the lungs.

Anthrax & Smallpox: Significant concentration reductions have been confirmed under laboratory conditions for test aerosol particles in the most critical respirable size range as anthrax and smallpox (.1 to .4 microns respectively). Also the Mini-Mate high ion output device has been tested under laboratory conditions against anthrax stimulant spores and has achieved up to 40% “kill” of BG spores in one minute in the simulated breathing zone. By comparison it takes much longer to kill anthrax spores by heat and many chemical methods. The anthrax stimulant spores used in these experiments were obtained by our aerosol exposure assessment laboratory at a major university from the U.S. Army, Edgewood Laboratories, at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds (Maryland) and tests were conducted and reviewed by expert micro-biologists who are authorities in this field. These BG spore anthrax stimulants are internationally recognised to be almost identical to anthrax spores and can be handled safely in bio-safety level two laboratories.

This study was followed up by an independent clinical study and showed that medical efficacy to be eight times greater than laboratory worst case testing. Anthrax information at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no4/cieslak.htm.

The technology was presented Sept 7th, 2001 in Leipzig Germany to the European Aerosol Conference and has been published in the prestigious Journal of Aerosol Science And Technology. Working samples have been successfully tested at a major university exposure assessment laboratory that is also sponsored to do Government research.

These tiny wearable ionic air purifier germ killers operate continuously to reduce toxic airborne exposures to smoke, dust, pollen, mould spores, fungi, bacteria, and chemicals that would otherwise be trapped in the in the lungs. For allergy sufferers everywhere, now there’s a solution to air pollution.

Mini-Mate, is the culmination of 10 years of innovation and intensive research in air purification technology. It has earned four US Patents with more pending. Air Supply technologies represents a new class of air decontamination devices known by plasma scientists as 'non' thermal ionic corona discharge plasma purifiers.

The ability of ionic discharge plasma to destroy biochemical agents has been proven at leading Universities and Research Institutes allowing development of new and exciting products.

Tested over a two-year period at a prominent California University, Department of Microbiology Genetics, the Mini-Mate was shown to remove up to 98% of airborne contaminants around the wearer in published tests.

Dr. Alan M. Spira, M.D. says, "I'm quite excited about this technology. "NBC News reports "Many doctors are now prescribing them for their allergy patients."

Note: Not for use with pacemaker patients without advice from a medical doctor.
