AS150MM (FAB) Ionic Air Purifier was found efficient in removing fine and ultra fine particles from indoor air of a typical room.2. Grinshpun, S.A., Mainelis, G., Trunov, Adhikari, A., Reponen, T., and Willeke, K. (2005) Evaluation of Ionic Air Purifiers for Reducing Aerosol Exposure in Confined Indoor Spaces, Indoor Air, in print.
The AS150MM (FAB), was shown to significantly reduce the aerosol concentration (down to virus size) in the breathing zone. Any air condition or air mixing enhanced the air cleaning effect.3. Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2005)
Filtering Efficiency of N95- and R95-Type Facepiece Respirators, Dust-Mist Facepiece Respirators, and Surgical Masks Operating in Unipolarly Ionized Indoor Air Environments, International Journal for Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 5(3):27-40.
AS150MM (FAB) Mini-Mate Ionic room cleaner was shown to significantly reduce the penetration efficiency of even the smallest viral particles by about 30 fold for N95, R95, dust-mist respirators and surgical masks, with zero additional breathing restrictions.4.

Effect of Wearable Ionizers on the Concentration of Respirable Airborne Particles and Micro-organisms, Proceedings of the European Aerosol Conference (Leipzig, Germany, September 3-7, 2001), Journal of Aerosol Science, 32 (Suppl.1):335-336.
The particle removal efficiency of the AS150MM Mini-Mate (FAB) reached almost 100% in a walk in chamber.

Indoor Air Pollution Control Through Ionization, IN: Air Pollution: Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Air Pollution (Ed: C.A. Brebbia), WIT Press, Southampton, U.K.:689-704.
The data for the AS150MM Mini-Mate (FAB) on the physical and bactericidal efficiencies of the ion emission suggest that the reduction in the indoor aerosol concentration combined with the germ inactivation can significantly reduce human exposure to indoor air pollutants. This reduces the risk of adverse health effects.6. Lee, B.U., Yermakov, M., and Grinshpun, S.A. (2003)

AS150MM Mini-Mate (FAB) Ion Generators demonstrate significant air purifying efficiency and removed about 97% of even virus sized particles in a room sized indoor test chamber.7.Grinshpun, S.A., Lee, B.U., and Yermakov, M. (2004)
