UV Light has been used for sterilization and disinfection as early as mid-20 th
century,with advancements in technology, and specifically in the UV bulbs
themselves, its reliable long lifespan (thousands-of-hours and smaller size (e.g. UV
LED vs. traditional UV bulbs) has broadened the field for where it can be used. You
can find it being used to disinfect: water, air, fruits, vegetable, surgical utensils,
tablet compute, toys and a variety of surfaces.
Not all kinds of UV are effective, to get a little technical, ultraviolet (UV)
means ‘’beyond violet’’ and refers to a range of electromagnetic waves with a
shorter wavelength (higher frequency and energy) than the visible violet light. UV is
divided into three types with reducing wavelengths and increasing energy. They
are UVA, UVB and UVC. For UV sterilization, only UVC (100-280nm) has high
enough energy to effectively kill microorganisms. When you are shopping for a UV
sterilization product to try in your home or business, make sure that its UV
wavelength falls in the range of UVC (100-280nm).
UV Sterilization is effective for viruses and bacteria and even more
organisms. Studies have shown that UVC at 254 nm is effective against all food
borne pathogens, natural micro biota, molds and yeasts, because microorganisms
come with different sizes and shapes that effective their UV absorption, the
required time for killing each species varies.
UV Sterilization also known as UV disinfection or ultraviolet germicidal
irradiation (UVGI) works by breaking down certain chemical bonds and scrambling
the structure of DNA, RNA and proteins, causing a microorganism is unable to
multiply it is considered dead since it cannot reproduce within a host and is no
longer infectious.
UV Sterilization uses the energy of UVC to destroy biomolecules, its
effectiveness depends on the total energy applied which affected by the length of
exposure time and the distance from the length source. If you use a UV lamp held
within 1 inch above a Petri dish grown with E, coli, it will only take 1-2 min to show
a complete sterilization. For sterilizing surgical instruments in a medium UV box, it
might take 5-10min. For sterilizing 8-foot biosafety cabinet in a lab, a common
recommendation is 30min.
Sterilization refers to any process that removes, kills, or deactivates all
forms of life (in an particular referring to microorganisms eukaryotic organisms
such as Plasmodium, etc.) and other biological agents like prions present in a
specific surface, object or fluid, for example food or biological culture media.
Sterilization can be achieved through carious means, including heat, chemicals,
irradiation, high pressure, and filtration.
Sterilization is distinct from disinfection, sanitation, and pasteurization, in
that those methods reduce rather than eliminate all forms of life and biological
agents present. After sterilization, an object is referred to as being sterile or
aseptic.
Radiation Sterilization can be achieved using electromagnetic radiation,
such as Ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays, or irradiation by subatomic
particles such as by electro beams. Electromagnetic or particulate radiation can be
energetic enough to ionize atoms or molecules (ionizing radiation), or less
energetic (non-ionizing radiation).
The proponents aims to offer an easy to use and eco-friendly product in the
form of a box which will help in eliminating bacteria and viruses with the power of
UV-C Lamps . We are now in this era of excellence in which people demand for
quality and healthy life and thus proponents see this opportunity to produce the
product that will meet the satisfactions of today’s customers.
UV-C light is fast, effective and proven disinfection tool against harmful
bacteria and viruses. A product that has a capacity to kill 99.9% of bacteria from
the surfaces of all inanimate objects exposed to it. This product is suited for the
disinfection of items like Keys, Wallets, Money, Documents, Clothes, Gadgets and
Grocery Items.
The product could reach a wide range of customer since it is suited for the
present condition as well as in the future of our environment since most of the
people are now health conscious and has an awareness of the dangers of wide
spreading of the diseases caused by the bacteria and viruses, sanitizing and
disinfecting is now the new normal thing. The proponents want to offer a product
which every household must need. The main purpose of the UV-C Sterilization box
is to make our belongings, bacteria and virus free.
