Is the laboratory mechanism explanation supported directly or inferred from performance observations?
The charge the mechanism rests on is measured, and the account of how that charge acts is the company's published position, not read off a performance test.
The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. A capture standard is not a destruction standard: ASHRAE 52.2 and ISO 16890 measure what a filter takes out of the air, and they say nothing about what happens to what is captured.
The Validation page names each report and certificate in its tested and certified list by institution and number, and it lists what was tested and the conditions it was tested under. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”
