Qttie's Cu Contact Disinfection Technology (CCD).

Using the concept of ‘Contact Killing’, CopperQ Masked by Qttie makes use of the effects of Copper (symbol Cu) on disinfecting, and incorporating that into our daily essentials. Copper had been used since ancient times as an disinfecting method.

Why Copper?

Researchers had been studying the effect of copper as a material to sterilize, and had records of the effectiveness of Copper. Copper had been used since ancient times as an disinfecting method.

The first recorded medical use of copper was found in the Smith Papyrus, one of the oldest books known. The Papyrus is an Egyptian medical text, written between 2600 and 2200 BC, which records the use of copper to sterilize chest wounds and to sterilize drinking water.

An olden article from the ancient times, mentioning about the use of copper.

Survival Rates of Viruses on different materials:

Studies have shown that most viruses in contact with copper is reduced by 50% per hour and generally the viruses dissipated in 4 hours. This is much shorter as compared to other materials such as Stainless Steel (48 hours) or Plastic (72 hours).

Process of how cells are being broken down when in contact with Copper:

#1. Copper dissolves from the copper surface and causes cell damage.

#2. The cell membrane ruptures because of copper and other stress phenomena, leading to loss of membrane potential and cytoplasmic content.

#3. Copper ions induce the generation of reactive oxygen species, which cause further cell damage.

#4. Genomic and plasma DNA becomes degraded.
