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.
Successful wiping– 21-Nov-2011
Wiping is the most effective method of cleanroom surface cleaning; in all cleanrooms there is a need for repeatable and validated processes. Wipes that are presaturated with a low surface tension fluid, such as alcohol, are highly suitable for capturing and removing particles and dirt, disturbing biofilms and removing residues. Particle Attraction Technology (PAT) enhances the ability of the wipe to attract and retain fine particles of less than 10µm. Technique is also important to prevent the trapped contamination being re-deposited on a surface
Cleaning regimes: see what is missing– 21-Oct-2011
A new cleanroom tool makes invisible hazards visible and highlights areas that have been overlooked during the cleaning and disinfection process. UV light is emitted from a torch and excites the electrons in the atoms or molecules of the particles in question. These absorb the energy from the torch temporarily and emit it as light, making visible particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
