Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection has become an incredibly reliable and viable alternative to chemical disinfection methods. This is due to the increased awareness of chemical-resistant microbes and the presence of harmful by-products.
UV-C disinfection relies on radiation emitted in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 280 nm (UV-C) to inactivate pathogens.
UVSheltron kills the virus and controls the spread of infection.
UV treatment is a proven methodology for large-scale water treatment as well as disinfecting surface areas in healthcare and research facilities. UV-C application is the best approach to control the spread of COVID-19 because several scientific studies have proven that UV-C at 260 nm kills both bacteria and virus by disrupting the nucleotide bonds within the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) double helix structure by forming thymine dimers. Furthermore, it activates the production of oxidative radicals and self-cleavage mechanisms in Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) virus. Damage to the genetic material further stops viral/bacterial reproduction. As such, COVID-19, which is a single stranded RNA virus, would be effectively killed by the application of UV-C. In addition, UV-C can disinfect within 15 minutes, decreasing time and increasing efficiency of decontamination.
A chemical free and convenient way to sanitize public, retail, personal, and medical spaces.
Use of UV-C light in hospitals, doctors’ offices, schools, airports, airplanes, and other public spaces could provide a powerful check on seasonal influenza epidemics, and influenza pandemics.
Ultraviolet (UV) light destroys the molecular bonds that hold together the DNA of viruses and bacteria.
