MiniMate Personal Ionizer

Ionizers generate negative ions to counteract pollutants, which are positive ions. The ions bind to particles, reversing their polarity so they drop to the nearest surface or are neutralized. The devices create a refreshing environment and emit a fresh scent similar to that of country air. (Click here for an article on The ABCs of Ions.) This tiny unit is ideal for people who want protection from stale indoor air no matter where they are. It's particularly useful for combating the recirculated, germ-loaded air on airplanes; we don't fly anywhere without ours! Click here for more information on the MiniMate and SARS. The Wein Air Supply (MiniMate) operates on a lithium battery (included) for more than 50 hours of use. Wear it around your neck with the cotton strap, or use the clip to attach it to a shirt pocket. Uses patented Electrodynamic Corona Discharge Technology (up to 2 million negative ions per second); has platinum emitter and goldplated stainless steel collectors for maximum efficiency. Measures 1.5"W x 1"D x 2.5"H; weighs only 1.5 oz. Purchase extra lithium batteries here.
