(Adv) ~ Airfree Air Purifier

Filterless, Maintenance-free Airfree Air Purifiers Now Available in Singapore!

· Destroys 99% airborne allergens

· Completely maintenance free with no filters needed

· Exclusive patented TSS™ technology reduces ozone concentrations

Airfree® air purifiers are officially launched in Singapore today. With up to 99% efficiency in destroying airborne mold spores, bacteria, viruses, ozone, mite and dust allergens, and other airborne allergens derived from animals and pollen, they are major allies in increasing the quality of life of more sensitive people such as the elderly, children and people who suffer from allergies.

How do they work?

They dramatically reduce air pollution by burning the microorganisms. As a result, the contaminated air is drawn into the Airfree® ceramic core and destroyed at high temperatures. This air purification cycle is silent, requires no maintenance and is guaranteed by numerous tests

Inactivate viruses through heat

Viruses are not considered living organisms but they depend on living cells in order to multiply. The virus structure includes an envelope consisting of protein and genetic material, such as DNA or RNA. All these components are sensitive to temperature. The genetic materials and proteins have complex structures to regulate their function, and changing this structure can lead to a loss of function known as denaturation. Denaturation occurs through two basic means: a change in pH or a change in temperature.

Some examples of virus inactivation through heat

Numerous studies have been conducted on the inactivation of viruses through heat application. For instance, the HIV virus in the blood will die when exposed to 77°C for only 0.006 seconds. In another study, "parvovirus" and "phage phiX174" were completely inactivated when exposed to 103°C for 90 seconds. In the case of herpes viruses, elevated temperatures inhibit the release of proteins necessary for a successful infection.

Airborne viruses are no different. A study of respiratory syncytial virus (the main cause of wheezing in children less than 2 years old) showed that when the virus is exposed to 65°C for 45 minutes, its infection capacity is decreased, and the conformational proteins are transformed, reducing the activity of substances responsible for inflammation, hypersensitivity and airway damage.

The SARS virus (causative agent of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) has thermosensitive (heat-sensitive) proteins in its envelope, which can be fully denatured at 55°C, the same temperature at which the SARS virus was proven to be inactivated.

Similarly, the proteins that are essential for the transmission of infectious influenza viruses are sensitive to variations in pH and temperatures between 55°C and 70°C.

Airfree® and its TSS™ ceramic core;

We have just seen some examples of virus inactivation through heating. In all these cases the temperatures were lower than the internal temperature of 200°C found in the Airfree TSS™ ceramic core.

Since 1977, studies show that the higher the temperature, the faster the proteins are denatured. Therefore, we can conclude that in most cases, Airfree ® purifier is effective in inactivating proteins from viruses, resulting in their inability to cause infections.

AIRFREE® FEATURES:

Efficient - Tested and approved in real environments (no simulations) at the best institutes around the world. Airfree® destroys any microorganism passing through the ceramic sterilizer, regardless of its size or hazard level.

Silent - Completely noiseless.

Exclusive - Internationally patented technology that is exclusive to Airfree® products, the only one that also reduces ozone concentrations.

Economic - No part replacement expenses or significant energy costs, since Airfree® consumes only 48w per hour.

Practical - Turn it on and forget about it, since the devices require no maintenance or cleaning.

No contraindications – Completely natural process which uses no radiation, chemical or toxic products, and do not interfere with the temperature or humidity of the environment.

Airfree air purifiers are now available in Singapore, at Popular, Harvey Norman, Hachi Tech online, Audio House, Hwee Seng Online, Qoo10. More details on prices of the individual products can be found in the brochure attached.

(Adv) - Audio House, The 1st Ever QR Cashless Electronics Outlet Opens in Singapore!

Audio House Launches Singapore’s First-ever Completely Cashless Electronics Showroom -

Audio House is first to challenge the market with this new concept - to offer electronics at up to 20% lower than the lowest prices in Singapore
• Audio House promises a price match with any competitor’s price, and on top of that offer extra $20 cashback with every $100 spent store-wide
• First electronics showroom with a completely cashless concept; no cashier counter at all
• Processes are digitized at the showroom, from selection of products, delivery arrangements, payments and more for over 3,000 SKUs
• Significant savings of Increased productivity where salespersons have more effective use of time to provide value-added services such as product demonstrations, information sharing and more.

In 2004, Audio House was the first to offer “7- day Money-back guarantee” with no questions asked in the electronics industry. Today, Audio House, a homegrown electronics chain in business for over 20 years, has made a bold move to be the first in market to challenge the market (including all online and offline competitors) & offer electronics at up to 20% rebate on top of the lowest prices in Singapore.

Basically, Audio House promises a price match with any competitor’s price and an additional extra $20 cash back with every $100 spent storewide. Audio House will also revamp its entire showroom and payment system to bring forth a whole new shopping experience to its customers with a completely cashless payment concept. They are Singapore’s first to go completely cashless. In August 2016, Audio House downsized to just one outlet at Bendemeer Road, closing down their 50,000sqft store at Liang Court. Many thought it is shrinking its business with this move. However, the company is actually planning to pass these cost savings to its customers and revamp its business model, converting its only flagship store at Bendemeer into a showroom offering 100% cashless payment solutions.

With these moves, Audio House is expecting to lower its operating costs significantly, in turn passing these savings on to its customers. Thus allowing Audio House to offer electronics at up to 20% lower than the lowest prices in Singapore. “It is very difficult to challenge the market with the lowest price and offer an additional up to 20% rebate to all customers. With the cost savings from this campaign, we are able to pass these savings directly to our customers.” Says Mr. Alvin Lee, the Managing Director of Audio House.

New Launch Promotion For 10 days from 11 to 20 November 2017, Audio House will be giving out free $100 vouchers to all new members who sign up at Audiohouse.com.sg. These vouchers will be given in $20 denominations, where these new members can offset each $20 voucher with every $100 spent. This $100 voucher is as good as cash as most items are easily a few hundred dollars. Audio House is looking forward to allow new customers to understand and experience the new cashless concept at Audio House.

100% Cashless Payment System Customers can visit Audio House’s showroom to check out the latest home electronics, touch and feel them, as well as speak to the sales promoters about the specifications and more.

After deciding on their purchases, customers can then make purchases via Audio House’s e-commerce platform, with arrangements of delivery and payments also completely done online. High Efficiency with Newly Revamped Automated POS System Audio House has invested around $500K over 3 years to create a whole new ecommerce platform that provides information on sales promotions, stock availability, delivery and more, with information feedback from its back-end system. With this platform newly launched, Audio House expects to increase staff efficiency and productivity as stocks management are more efficiently done, syncing both online, back-end as well as delivery service directly.

Customers looking to shop online can also expect a more efficient and accurate experience, as stock availability, prices and promotions are reflected in real time.

Operating hours at Audio House will also be shortened. Previously opened from 11am to 9pm, the new retail hours will now be from 12.30pm to 9pm. With Audio House’s e-commerce platform, however, customers can browse and purchase the lowest-priced electronics 24/7.

Audio House challenges the market + offers up to 20% rebate If a customer finds the same product cheaper elsewhere (be it online or offline in Singapore), they can bring the photo proof to Audio House showroom where Audio House will match that price immediately. On top of matching the lowest prices, customers are given up to 20% rebate.
