The UV Micro Tech disinfection device is an environmental sterilization system based on the properties of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
This device can be used for disinfecting environments and surface objects and is widely utilized in hospitals, clinics, medical and dental offices, pharmacies, gyms, beauty clinics, and more.
Unlike most disinfectants, UV radiation does not deactivate microorganisms through chemical interaction but rather penetrates them, causing a photochemical reaction.
UV rays alter the essential molecular components of the cell. Since this radiation penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms, nucleic acids and other vital cellular materials are affected.
As a result, microbes, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms exposed to the UV radiation of the Micro Tech disinfection device are damaged and destroyed.
Sufficient exposure to UV radiation effectively damages the DNA and RNA of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, eliminating them and preventing their reproduction.
Advantages of the Micro Tech Disinfection Device
It provides 360-degree coverage of the entire environment and is equipped with a timer to set the operating hours and duration automatically. The device is available in two models: a single-lamp and a three-lamp version, featuring 90 cm, 30-watt lamps. Additionally, it can be upgraded with a wireless control system, allowing users to adjust settings via mobile devices.
The device offers quick installation and easy operation, with a lightweight, portable, aesthetically pleasing, and standard-compliant design. It effectively disinfects and eliminates a wide range of microbes, viruses, and fungi with high-speed efficiency.
By disinfecting spaces without requiring direct human contact with surfaces and equipment, it significantly reduces the transmission of pathogens. Compared to manual surface disinfection, it lowers the risk of microbial and viral presence without requiring maintenance costs while ensuring a long lifespan.
After the device turns off, individuals can enter the disinfected area immediately without needing additional cleaning. This reduces hospital and clinic disinfection costs and enables the sterilization of surfaces that are otherwise difficult to clean manually.
Unlike some disinfection methods, the device does not require an isolated room with sealed doors and windows. It is environmentally friendly, providing chemical-free disinfection of surfaces and objects.
Its portability allows easy movement for disinfecting different sections of an environment, even in the presence of partitions and other obstacles. Additionally, its compact size ensures minimal space occupation.
The wavelength range of UV radiation for disinfection falls within the electromagnetic spectrum between 100 to 400 nanometers, positioned between X-rays and visible light.
The optimal range for eliminating microbes, viruses, and other pathogens using UV radiation is within 245 to 285 nanometers, categorized under UVC radiation. The lamps used in this device belong to the UVC range, operating within this wavelength, making them highly effective in disinfecting the environment.
Reasons for Using UV Radiation for Disinfection
The Micro Tech UV disinfection device eliminates the need for chemical storage, handling, and intervention during disinfection. Its efficiency remains unchanged by variations in pH and temperature. Unlike many chemical disinfectants, UV radiation produces no harmful byproducts or pollutants. Additionally, it ensures a short disinfection time, making it a fast and effective method for sterilization.
Applications of UV Radiation
- Hospitals (operating rooms, waiting rooms, different wards, etc.)
- Pharmaceutical industry, laboratories, pharmacies, and kitchens
- Medical and dental clinics, gyms, beauty salons, and more
Important Considerations When Using the Micro Tech UV Disinfection Device
Due to its strong disinfecting properties, it is crucial to leave the area while the device is operating and avoid direct exposure to UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause serious skin and eye damage. Additionally, plants and animals should not be exposed to prolonged UV radiation as it may cause harm.
The Micro Tech device is portable, allowing easy movement to disinfect areas that may be shielded from direct UV exposure due to partitions or other obstacles.
For a 25-square-meter room, the single-lamp model (30W) requires at least 30 minutes for complete disinfection, while the three-lamp model (90W) takes a minimum of 15 minutes.
How to Use the Micro Tech Device
The Micro Tech system includes a 24-hour timer that supports 96 on/off cycles in 15-minute intervals. This allows users to schedule up to four 15-minute disinfection periods per hour, ensuring precise control over operation time and customized scheduling throughout the day.
