UVC

With its investment in the California-based UV-C LED specialist Bolb Inc., Osram is further expanding its technological know-how of disinfection applications with UV-C light. The future cooperation between the two companies in the field of research will accelerate the industrialization of highly efficient and high-performance UV-C LEDs.

UV-C light - the effect of which has been known for over a century - has been proven to be a key to clean air indoors. The invisible, ultraviolet light destroys viruses and bacteria with a reliability of 99.9 percent. Osram now brings the proven UV-C technology with two flexible...

UV-C light can eliminate 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in the air and in drinking water. As one of the world's leading manufacturers, Osram Opto Semiconductors now enables particularly small and robust disinfection applications with its LEDs, while also driving the industrialization of these special light sources...

The ambitions of the lighting industry to be a major supplier of UVC products was given a boost today as 239 scientists declared that airborne transmission of the coronavirus is much more significant than previously thought. The scientists suggest that emphasis should move from surfaces to indoor air as the...

UVC (Ultraviolet C) is an extremely effective technology in inactivating harmful microorganisms. UVC technology makes disinfection easy and inexpensive. However, there are some limitations in its use.

The irradiation of UVC on bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms will damage the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cells of microbial body. Thus lead to DNA chain break, nucleic acid and protein cross-link break, resulting in death of growth cell and regenerative cell...

With the current global pandemic on everyone’s minds, more attention is being paid to the role of many useful technologies that have been previously underutilized in controlling the spread of infectious disease. Among these technologies is germicidal UVC technology.
