This is not a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no. Without getting too technical, UV radiation falls into three categories depending on its wavelength: UVA, UVB and UVC. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation, and the more harmful it can be.
The UV Lights used as sanitizers fall into the UVC category. The great news is that yes, they can kill germs and viruses, including the Coronavirus.
Test results
We know this first-hand! Westpharma laboratory in Dublin 15 independently tested our products.
The experiment consisted in exposing a large quantity of human skin organisms to our UVC light technology for 5, 10 and 15 seconds. We also compared the results against cleaning a surface, contaminated with the same sample bacteria, with antibacterial cleaning agents. The report read as follows:
“As can be seen in the photo, excellent results were obtained. A sample was also tested using IPA as a cleaning method to compare it to the results achieved using the dinfection lamp/wand and as can be seen again in the photo below, results are outstanding.”
