Does the Tampere result measure capture or destruction?
The company has not published which endpoint the Tampere University testing measured.
Tampere University, Department of Virology, report dated 1 April 2021, tested a treated material against human coronavirus 229E and Coxsackievirus B6. It carries no report number, and the organisms it covered are human coronavirus 229E and Coxsackievirus B6, not SARS-CoV-2.
The company's position is that the filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures, that it destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge, and that the filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The Validation page names Tampere University, Finland among the institutes that tested NanoFlashing™, and the Viruses page names it among those that tested the viruses listed there.
