UV-C has proven to be an effective virucide and microbicide, and its cost-effectiveness allowed it to spread as a disinfecting procedure in different environments.
The study aims to determine the microbicide activity on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and SARS-CoV-2 of the UV-C Boxer by Cartoni S.p.A. Three separate experiments were performed to assess the effectiveness of the UV-C disinfection device on different materials, directly on surfaces of a video camera and on a specific carrier for SARS-CoV-2.
In all three experiments, a significant abatement of bacterial and viral contamination was reached after 60 seconds on carriers and after 3 minutes on all examined surfaces of the video camera, with a higher reduction on glass carriers.
UV-C devices may be a valuable tool to implement in the working routine to achieve a higher level of safety in work environments.
紫外线 C 已被证明是一种有效的杀病毒剂和杀菌剂,其成本效益使其在不同环境中作为一种消毒程序得以推广。
本研究旨在确定 Cartoni S.p.A. 的 UV-C Boxer 对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和 SARS-CoV-2 的杀微生物活性。进行了三项单独的实验,以评估 UV-C 消毒设备对不同材料、摄像机表面和 SARS-CoV-2 特定载体的有效性。
在所有三项实验中,在载体上 60 秒后,在摄像机所有检查表面上 3 分钟后,细菌和病毒污染均显著减少,玻璃载体上的减少幅度更高。
紫外线 C 设备可能是在工作常规中实施的有价值的工具,以在工作环境中实现更高水平的安全性。
