UV-C disinfection neutralises 99.9% of all bacteria, odours and coronaviruses of similar strain to COVID-19. This dramatically reduces fallow time and most importantly, reassures your patients of thorough safety procedures.
Ultra Violet Germ Irradiation
Ultra Violet Germ Irradiation ( UVGI ) is an established means of disinfection and has been used to prevent the spread of viral diseases for nearly 100 years.
UVGI inactivates microorganisms by damaging the structure of nucleic acids and proteins at the molecular level, making them incapable of reproducing. The most important of these is DNA, which is responsible for cell replication (Harm 1980). The nucleotide bases (pyrimidine derivatives thymine and cytosine, and purine derivatives guanine and adenine) absorb most of the UV energy responsible for cell inactivation. Absorbed UV photons can damage DNA in a variety of ways, but the most significant damage event is the creation of pyrimidine dimers, where two adjacent thymine or cytosine bases bond with each other, instead of across the double helix as usual (Diffey 1991).
Our Products
UVGI disinfection is shown to be effective against coronaviruses in air. Our UV-C lights neutralise 99.9% of all viruses within the operating range and within minutes. Please note, direct exposure to skin and eyes is to be avoided by using PPE. See our Health and Safety page.
1000W Microwave Mobile Disinfection Unit
Our most powerful unit the CK1000 is also our most energy efficient too. Patented electrodeless microwave technology with a UV-C light output at 253.7nm of 1700 mj/cm2 @ 1M distance will irradiate large rooms in just minutes. It’s fully portable and easily moved by one person. It has a built in safety timer allowing the operator to leave the room before irradiation begins.
The family of portable disinfection luminaries
Luminaries designed for air and surface disinfection. Viruses, bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms are not resistant to the UV-C light it emits.
Models:
- UV-C Air flow 72 W single-function version
- UV-C Air flow 72 W double-function version (opened on one side)
- UV-C Air flow 144 W double-function version (opened on both sides) SEPT 2020 Release
120mW UV-C handheld sterilisation baton
By demand, we have designed a handheld UV-C LED device for the cleaning of keyboards, payment terminals and other office equipment. As with all UVC-LED, it is low powered compared to the standard sources. However, it is not a toy and should still be considered hazardous to eyes and skin.
The unit needs to be held between 20-50mm from the item you are sterilising and held for 20-30 seconds to be effective. This unit can be used to sterilise clipboards and other patient “touched “equipment. The unit has a 3000 mah Lithium Ion battery, USB charged. It comes complete with a magnetic USB charging lead.
