Harnessing UVC light– 23-Jan-2012
Ultraviolet light offers an energy- and cost-efficient method of decontaminating medical and electronic devices. When targeted micro-organisms are directly exposed to UVC light, the radiation penetrates the cell walls. UVC exposure in the Nanoclave Cabinet occurs at room temperature and pressure and doesn’t involve moisture or immersion.
UV disinfection for food packaging– 21-Nov-2011
For microbiologically demanding packaged goods, hygienic packaging is vital to maintain quality. UV irradiation is an environmentally friendly and economical method of disinfecting packaging materials. Bacteria such as salmonella and coli bacteria are extremely vulnerable and very easily destroyed. UV disinfection modules from Heraeus Noblelight have been specially developed for the disinfection of packaging and surfaces, such as in filling and sealing machines for drink products. Various shapes of pots and cups for milk products, sealing foils or bags, caps for glasses or bottle necks are effectively disinfected with UV radiation.
