UV germicidal lamps

Ultraviolet (UV) lamps are one of the most effective modern methods of disinfecting air, liquids, and surfaces. Some perks of this method are low operating costs, as well as the fact that bacteria, viruses, molds, and fungi, cannot become immune to UV rays, even if they are constantly exposed to it. UV radiation allows disinfecting huge surfaces, doesn't harm the environment, and is really easy to use.

Sanitation in medicine

It is common knowledge that sanitation is essential in any medical procedure. Historically, many methods of maintaining hygiene were tried. One of those methods is using UV radiation. UV effectively disinfects the air and protects from airborne bacteria and fungal infections. Using this method is a great and effective way of maintaining clean walls, beds, operating tables, and other surfaces in medical facilities.

Sanitation in industry

UV radiation is commonly used as an ecological method of disinfection. This method provides a single technique of disinfecting air, liquids, and industrial automation equipment; grants protection from recurring pollution; decreases the number of bacteria in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

UV disinfection is popular for the following reasons:

• effective and irreversible destruction of microorganisms;
• an ecological disinfection method;
• low operating costs.

Methods of disinfection

Among various methods of disinfection, such as thermal and chemical, disinfection using UV rays stands out for its advantages. Thermal treatment consumes a lot of energy and is not able to disinfect large surfaces or air. Chemical treatment heavily pollutes the environment, and the remaining chemical particles can penetrate the product to be cleaned and pose a health hazard. By disinfection with UV rays, all of these outcomes are not a threat. Ultraviolet radiation is an electromagnetic part of the specter and is by nature similar to visible radiation, although, has nothing to do with radioactivity. The UV spectrum includes waves from 100 nm to 380 nm. Most bacteria are killed with 254 nm waves.

Antibacterial lamps are designed for periodical and continuous disinfection of certain premice, such as operating rooms, diagnostics or examination rooms, reception rooms, wards, laboratories, etc. UV lamps can also be used in industrial or food processing applications, during breeding, and wherever a high level of hygiene is required.
