Banknote cleaning system also deactivates Covid-19
Spectra Systems Corporation, a leader in machine-readable high
speed banknote authentication, brand protection technologies and
gaming security software, is pleased to announce that tests
conducted at Boston University's National Emerging Infectious
Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) have shown that Spectra's Aeris
banknote cleaning process also deactivates SARS-2 below detectable
limits during the one hour cleaning cycle. The results, performed
in a Biosafety Level IV facility were obtained for straps of
Canadian polymer banknotes as well as USA dollar and Indian Rupee
banknotes. These new SARS-2 results are in addition to previous
data that showed that Aeris, in addition to cleaning banknotes and
reducing replacement costs, also disinfected banknotes from other
pathogens including enteroviruses and bacteria.
When Covid-19 was emerging as a pandemic, a multitude of central
banks expressed interest in whether Aeris could both remove soiling
as well as deactivate SARS-2. This new data makes Aeris valuable
both for saving banknote replacement costs as well as for
increasing the safety of cash.
Dr. Nabil Lawandy, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are
pleased that our collaboration with Boston University's National
Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories has produced results that
bring a new value proposition for our Aeris technology. With the
new SARS-2 Delta variant producing spikes of new cases in the UK
and worldwide, we are proud to be the company that is facing this
head on with solutions that not only save taxpayers money, but also
increase their public health safety. The company believes that
Aeris, in addition to our newest patented technology for
disinfecting banknotes using heat and oxygen-free environment makes
us the only company in the world with proven solutions for central
banks, commercial banks and casinos."
