AIRE vs Aurabeat: Medical-Grade Air Purifiers Compared

The fair starting point: both brands are credible

If you are comparing AIRE and Aurabeat for a clinic, start with an honest premise: both are serious medical-grade brands. Both hold FDA Class II medical device listings, both build their sterilisation around silver-ion technology, and both take air hygiene far more seriously than ordinary consumer purifiers.

The real differences are approach and fit. Aurabeat's flagship unit in Singapore is the ASP-X1. We offer a full lineup sized room by room, layer active UV-C and copper-silver ion sterilisation on top of H13 medical-grade HEPA, and let clinics verify performance on site before committing. This comparison sticks to verifiable, published criteria — no straw men.

AIRE vs Aurabeat at a glance

Everything in the Aurabeat column below comes from Aurabeat's own published materials.

How each brand approaches sterilisation

We pair H13 filtration with active sterilisation — UV-C light plus copper-silver ion technology. In chamber testing, this combination eliminated more than 99.99% of tested airborne pathogens (E. coli, Staphylococcus albus and Influenza A) within 60 minutes, versus roughly 4 hours 23 minutes for the same organisms to decay passively on a standard HEPA filter. The logic matters for clinics: a filter that traps microbes is good, but a system that actively neutralises what it traps reduces the airborne load faster in rooms where unwell patients sit together. The full 7-layer stack is on our technology page.

Aurabeat's approach, per its published materials, centres on a patented six-stage AG+ silver-ion antiviral filter supported by activated carbon, photocatalytic oxidation, UVC and anion stages. Aurabeat publishes claims of eliminating more than 99.9% of coronavirus within 30 minutes and more than 99.99% of influenza viruses. Those are Aurabeat's own published claims, and we have no reason to dispute them.

One honest note: our chamber testing covered E. coli, Staphylococcus albus and Influenza A — we make no coronavirus claims, because we only cite organisms we have actually tested. Our UV-C runs sealed inside the unit, where it never reaches occupants.

Sizing for a clinic: one flagship versus a room-by-room lineup

Aurabeat's ASP-X1 is built as one powerful unit: CADR 800 m³/h with published coverage of up to 120 m². That is a legitimate way to treat a single large space.

Clinics, though, are rarely one open space. They are a waiting room, two or three consult rooms and perhaps a treatment room — and air does not move freely between them. A purifier in the waiting area does little for the consult room where a coughing patient spends fifteen minutes behind a closed door.

That is why we size per room. The maths: required CADR (m³/h) = floor area (m²) × ceiling height (m) × target air changes per hour. Public-health guidance since the pandemic (including the US CDC) recommends targeting at least 5 air changes per hour of clean air in occupied spaces — we work to 5+ ACH for clinics and 6+ for dental and procedure rooms.

In practice, the Fillo Plus (CADR 300 m³/h) suits consult and treatment rooms up to 30 m², the Classic 400S (CADR 480 m³/h) covers waiting rooms of 31–54 m², and the Pro 800S (CADR 800 m³/h) matches Aurabeat's flagship for halls and large clinics up to 96 m².

Price, rental and the question of commitment

Aurabeat's published Singapore retail price for the ASP-X1 is S$2,699, distributed locally by Lamch & Co. That is a straightforward outright purchase of a single high-capacity machine.

We structure things differently. Because clinics usually need several right-sized units rather than one large one, we quote per deployment and offer both purchase and flexible rental. Every engagement can begin with a free 30-day pilot — zero upfront cost, and at the end you buy, rent or return. For a clinic owner weighing two spec sheets, that shifts the decision from "which brochure do I trust?" to "which system performed in my actual rooms?"

Our verdict for Singapore clinics

Choose Aurabeat if you want a single, well-certified high-capacity unit for one large space, are comfortable with its published S$2,699 price, and value its coronavirus-specific published claims.

Choose AIRE if your clinic is a set of separate rooms that each need their own clean-air supply, if you want active UV-C plus copper-silver ion sterilisation layered on H13 HEPA, or if you would rather verify performance in your own premises before committing. Our team is local — based in Geylang — and already supports dental and specialist clinics, childcare settings, offices and homes across Singapore.

Either way, you are choosing between two credible medical-grade brands, which is a far better position than defaulting to a consumer unit with no medical-device listing. For the wider field, see our guides to the best air purifiers for clinics and Aurabeat alternatives in Singapore.

Frequently asked

Is the Aurabeat ASP-X1 really a medical-grade air purifier?

Yes. Aurabeat's published materials state the ASP-X1 is certified as an FDA Class II medical device, built around a patented six-stage silver-ion antiviral filter. AIRE also holds an FDA Class 2 medical device listing, alongside CE, RoHS, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 — so on certification, both brands clear the medical-grade bar.

Do AIRE and Aurabeat use the same sterilisation technology?

They are related but not identical. Both build on silver-ion approaches with UVC and anion stages: Aurabeat embeds silver ions in its patented six-stage filter, while AIRE pairs copper-silver ion technology with UV-C light on top of an H13 HEPA filter. In AIRE's chamber testing, that combination eliminated more than 99.99% of tested pathogens within 60 minutes.

Which is better for a small consult or treatment room?

The Aurabeat ASP-X1 is a single large unit rated for spaces up to 120 m², which is more capacity than a typical consult room needs. AIRE's Fillo Plus is purpose-sized for rooms up to 30 m² with a CADR of 300 m³/h, a UV function and a compact cylinder that sits beside the dental chair or consult desk. Sizing per room usually gives clinics cleaner air where patients actually sit.

Does AIRE make the same coronavirus claims as Aurabeat?

No. Aurabeat's published materials claim elimination of more than 99.9% of coronavirus within 30 minutes, and we do not dispute that. AIRE's chamber testing covered E. coli, Staphylococcus albus and Influenza A — eliminating more than 99.99% within 60 minutes — and we only cite organisms we have actually tested.
