In the lab
APREAL is built on long-term collaboration with academic research environments, including ongoing involvement with institutions such as MIT, and remains continuously embedded in laboratory settings where filtration systems are developed through rigorous experimentation rather than assumptions. Our work extends beyond product development into ongoing research, technical studies, and published papers that inform each iteration of the system, ensuring APREAL evolves through scientific rigor, transparency, and long-term research thinking.
Research
Our research has gained broad international visibility through features in multiple global publications and design and technology journals, reflecting growing recognition of APREAL’s engineering-led approach to filtration. In addition to media coverage, the project has been acknowledged by leading international design platforms, including the Red Dot Design Award, further validating the impact of our work at the intersection of research, engineering, and design.
Collaborative Research Labs
We collaborate closely with world-leading academic institutions, including MIT and Tsinghua University, working across disciplines to continuously map new frontiers in filtration innovation. Through sustained research and experimentation, our goal is not only to advance the global landscape of filtration systems, but to translate scientific and engineering breakthroughs into solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday life, bringing meaningful technological progress closer to natural human experiences.
APREAL is driven by a long-term vision centered on breathing quality and everyday well-being. In a world increasingly shaped by environmental and lifestyle-related pollutants, we focus on engineering solutions that address exposure at the point of entry.
Through our inlet-based Ceramic Honeycomb Structure®, APREAL brings advanced filtration technologies into daily life, helping improve the quality of everyday experiences through thoughtful, science-led design.
