UV Disinfectant Wand

Harmful germs and bacteria are everywhere.  Now more than ever it’s important to ensure that the space around us is healthy and safe.  Sterilizing hand gels, disinfectant sprays, and sanitizing wipes are not enough to ensure a healthy environment.  Many bacteria and viruses are heat, cold, and drug-resistant, but they are not resistant to Ultraviolet light (UV).  

Absorption by proteins can lead to rupture of cell walls and the death of the organism. Absorption by DNA or RNA (specifically by thymine bases) is known to cause inactivation of the DNA or RNA double helix strands through the formation of thymine dimers. If enough of these dimers are created in DNA, the DNA replication process is disrupted, and the cell cannot replicate.

It is widely accepted that it is not necessary to kill pathogens with UV light, but rather apply enough UV light to prevent the organism from replicating. 

UV-C has been proven to kill several strands of viruses (below are research studies demonstrating the effectiveness of UV-C light on SARS and MERS).

• Evaluation Of Inactivation Methods For SARS
• Stability Of SARS Coronavirus And Its Sensitivity To Heating And UV Irradiation
• Inactivation Of MERS-COV Using A Riboflavin-based And Ultraviolet Light-based Photochemical Treatment
