GCX MultiGas: Advanced, full-spectrum gaseous organic and inorganic chemicals filtration

Best media, superior filtration

The GC and GCX Series feature the highest-quality filter media available that target volatile organic compounds in the air to filter a wide spectrum of gases, odors and chemicals.

State-of-the-art technology

The unrivaled performance of IQAir air filtration technology is achieved using only proven mechanical filtration technology. Mechanical filters such as IQAir's particle filters capture particles from the air on filter materials, including tiny viruses² and bacteria¹ as small as 0.003 microns.

Traps ultrafine particles

Ultrafine particles are smaller than 0.1 microns, make up about 90% of all airborne particles. IQAir HyperHEPA filtration in the GC and GCX Series filters 95% of all particles down to 0.003 microns – the smallest particles that exist.
