The ongoing pandemic has brought to the fore the realization that viruses and bacteria can live both in the air and on surfaces and thus spread and have a major impact on our health. As we will in future have to live with recurring infections, there is a demand for an effective way to automatically disinfect frequently visited areas, such as toilets, to protect people from harmful pathogens.
BrainLit’s new automated solution, the BrainLit UV, disinfects both air and surfaces through UV-C light to deactivate pathogens. The BrainLit UV has undergone extensive tests at the Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, which confirms the effect of rapid deactivation of SARS-CoV-2, ie the virus that causes Covid 19. The tests show a deactivation of 90% of SARS-CoV-2 virus within 2 minutes and a 99.9% deactivation within 12 minutes. The tests also showed effective deactivation of E. coli bacteria and salmonella bacteria.
