by UVC lamp is very simple but very effective.
Ultrasteril explains…

UVC rays are a clean, ecological and very effective solution for sterilization!

How does UVC treatment work?

Stérilisation avec UVC

During treatment, UVC rays destroy nucleic acids by breaking down
DNA and RNA of microorganisms.
This action has the effect of destroying the reproductive cells and therefore of
kill bacteria, spores, molds and viruses.

To have an effective and optimal treatment , it is important to take into consideration
the exposure time , the energy of the surface radiation and its wavelength .

The effectiveness of UVC for sterilizing application

Germicidal lamps are known for their effectiveness
and have been used for many years for the
air and surface disinfection . They are the most common
in the medical environment where hygienic importance is essential.

The benefits of UVC disinfection

  • UVC rays use no chemicals
  • Pathogens are not UVC resistant
  • Germicidal action is achieved in seconds
  • Rays leave no residue
  • Considering the processing speed, UVC has no influence on the property of the products
  • UVC lamps above 240nm do not produce ozone
  • During the treatment, there is no heat increase in the ambient air
  • etc…
