An educated consumer is our best customer. We want you to be informed about the huge amount of misinformation and, frankly, outright misrepresentations that are circulating in regard to what are the best choices for Covid care products. When it comes to preserving the health of yourself, your family & your community, misinformation and unsupported sales pitches should not be the basis of your product choices. So, here are common fallacies about what makes various Covid care products the best choices…and why you should consider our products:
- Best Form and Function;
- More Available;
- More Affordable;
- Full Transaction Assurance…
- No scams, no bidding wars, fair deals!
ALL Newgene-US Bioengineering products beat the competition for because of one or more of the above reasons. But, this page focuses of three classes of products: (A) Fast, Self-Tests; (B) Non-Toxic Disinfectants and Equipment; (C) Masks, particularly compostable, self-sanitizing & personalized.
Tests The Big Fallacies are that the only really satisfactory tests for the novel coronavirus are the expensive RT-PCR tests that can cost hundreds of dollars (or more); require trained technicians to obtain the samples to be tests and to actually run the tests; require expensive laboratories and lab equipment. The other fallacy is that only these tests have low levels of false negatives or false positives. Of the alternative “fast tests” that have been approved; all have one or more failing, such as: They are still too expensive; they require a prescription; they still require a technician to obtain a painful, deep, nasopharyngeal sample OR the shallow nasal (or saliva) sample is not assured of containing detectable viral load; they are too complicated for self-testing, or still require some sort of electronic reading device or still must be sent into a lab for analysis; they do not simultaneously detect covid (current or recovered infection) & influenza; &/or the daily quantity produced is too low, and not anticipated to reach adequate levels for months.
OUR tests overcome every one of these deficiencies:
- Even for multiple test bundles, the cost is as much as half the cost of most other single fast tests and, for retail purchases, includes the cost priority delivery, and are simple enough for self-sampling and self-operation of the analysis…no prescription needed; no technician, equipment, lab or equipment needed; results available in 15 minutes;
- By using a sputum sample, which is most likely to contain detectable viral load if the virus is present at all, the number of false positives or negatives is very low.
- The “Lab in a Bag” not only detects & verifies an active covid infection; it also will disclose a simultaneous flu infection (very possible & very dangerous); and will disclose a prior, recovered covid infection from within the last few months.
Disinfectant & Disinfectant Products The Big Fallacies: In order to effectively destroy pathogens, disinfectants must, themselves. be poisonous. They must often have an offensive odor; must be expensive; must be rinsed away when used in food production areas; can’t be applied to foods; are dying or irritating to the skin. When used to fumigate the air, the space must be evacuated of people, and the equipment available for disinfecting is expensive.
OUR disinfectant breaks all of those norms:
- Our disinfectant is 100 times more effective than bleach, yet is non-toxic to humans, babies or pets, because it is actually the same exact chemical that white blood cells produce to kill pathogens.
- Our disinfectant has no odor, leaves no residue and is approved for use to sanitize fruits, vegetables & fish, without rinsing. It can be used to disinfect hands and even babies skin or wounds. Plus, it is the only disinfecting chemical approved for use in misting air spaces while still occupied. There is no need to air out the area before it is reoccupied.
- Our disinfectant sells for under $20/gallon…compare to up to $200/gallon for competing brands; and our disinfecting channel, which includes face recognition, body temp measurement & hand sanitizer dispensing, costs under $6,000 (under 40% of the costs of competitors).
Masks The Big Fallacies: Only US-made masks are good (& “Chinese masks are “junk”); N95 standards are the best…and “civilians” should not use them because that will deprive health professionals.
- N95 & similar foreign mask standards define good “dust masks”, not biological filters. And, in fact, most common pathogens, including the coronavirus, are smaller than the “holes” in these masks.
- Even 3M acknowledges that the US NIOSH standards are not better than the Euro or Chinese standards (ie: N95 & N99 = FFP2 & FFP3 = KN95 & KN99).
- NIOSH standards do not require the electret (static charged) filter layers found in almost all Asian masks, which tend to capture pathogen particles that are otherwise small enough to pass through “N” masks; nor do they usually include a moisture-absorbing cotton layer as is often found in Asian masks.
- Sub-standard Asian masks have not been shipped to the US since last April, when the Chinese government clamped down on their export to the US.
- Claims that Asian masks allow more air to leak around the masks than N95 masks are bogus: In fact, Chinese mask standards require the measurement of this leakage…NIOSH standards do not! And, Asian folding mask automatically conform to different faces far better than rigid “cup respirators”, which should be professionally fit to the face.
- Many cloth masks sold in the US do not include the supplemental, disposable filter that helps to make up for deficiencies of cloth masks.
- No “Copper infused” masks sold in the US, substantially “kill” pathogens. (They either do not contain enough metal ions, or the copper is not uniformly distributed in the mask…both being necessary for masks to be self-sanitizing.)
- Most US masks are intended for adults and a loose-fitting, meaning that as much as 50% of the air that hits them goes around, rather than thru, the masks.
OUR masks often include a moisture-absorbing layer; and include 1 or more virus-capturing electret layer(s); often have a nanofiber filter with ultra-fine fore size, that makes the masks exceed N99, even N100, standards; conform better to the face in general & include mask adjusters for even better fit and for minimizing pressure on the ears; (when self-sanitizing) have been lab-tested for effectiveness; are available in custom colors & printing; are available in a compostable material; are available in any quantity & at the lowest market prices. Our N95 clone of a 3M 2860 sells for only $1.20 each, and true NIOSH N95 certified masks (5 plies) are $1.85…lower in large quantities. Plus, we have US flag masks and even LED lighted masks, as much more.
