Why InMicro – Scentinel ®

PASSIVE PROTECTION. CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE

Unlike traditional air treatment systems, InMicro Scentinel® integrates directly into HVAC systems as a passive diffuser, requiring no power, no fans, and no mechanical components.

Traditional systems rely on filtration, airflow, and mechanical maintenance.
InMicro Scentinel® delivers a continuous environmental countermeasure at the air distribution level.

Key Advantages:

  • No moving parts
  • No electrical components
  • Silent operation
  • Minimal maintenance requirements
  • Continuous 24/7 deployment
  • Facility-wide HVAC integration

Our Efficacy Testing Method:

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

ATP Detection is the only method that directly assesses living cells from any type of microbe, providing an immediate indication of microbial contamination in your sample.

How Hospitals Detect Viruses Today

Hospitals today are using a fast and reliable method called ATP testing to check if harmful germs are present on surfaces. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is found in all living things — including viruses and bacteria. By testing for ATP, hospitals can quickly see if an area is truly clean or if dangerous microbes are still there.

The big advantage of ATP testing is speed. Results are available in 10seconds, which means cleaning staff and infection control teams can act right away to protect patients, visitors, and staff. With threats like COVID-19 and other infections, hospitals rely on this method as a frontline tool to keep environments safe and healthy.

CASE STUDIES

Healthcare Facility Deployment in Italy | 2016

Documented reductions in airborne contamination and improved operational outcomes.

Conducted in a 112-bed residential healthcare facility in Italy over 5 months. One section of the facility received standard cleaning plus essential oil diffusion, while another section received standard cleaning alone.

Essential oils were dispersed using ultrasonic vaporizers operating 16 hours per day. Microbial contamination was measured monthly from tables, cabinets, and handrails using contact slides.

Smile Dental Implant Centre in Surrey British Columbia | May 2020

In May 2020, InMicro Indoor Air Inc. conducted an environmental surface and air assessment following the installation of Scentinel® commercial HVAC diffusers at the Smile Dental Implant Centre in Surrey, BC.

The objective was to observe changes in environmental microbial load (bacteria, virus, and mold indicators) following continuous exposure to a botanical vapor-based indoor air treatment.

Swab samples were collected prior to installation and again after 48 hours of continuous Scentinel® operation and analyzed by an independent commercial laboratory in Richmond, BC for total bacterial colony forming units (CFUs).
