Scientific studies

UVC radiation has been used as a disinfection method for over a hundred years. A number of studies underscore the effectiveness of this method. 

  • Inactivation of 97 per cent of bacteria cells in air filters after 60 -minutes of application.

  • Inactivation of 90 per cent of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus spores in roomspace air.

  • Inactivation of 90 per cent of the virus phylums through UVC-surface disinfection.

  • Significant reduction of the potential for aerogene infections with the Vaccinia virus through use of UVC-air disinfection.

  • Significant reduction (3.1-fold) of postoperative infections under UV-exposure in orthopaedic surgery over an observation period of 19 years.

  • Complaints of the respiratory organs and the mechanical equipment to check-up on microorganisms
