Our scientists and engineers have put together a white paper to show UV-C light’s effectiveness in inactivating airborne pathogens.

This white paper addresses the issues with current personal airborne pathogen protection (PAPP) methods and describes a new wearable device with UV-C light disinfection for PAPP. The device uses UV-C light at wavelengths around 265 nm, reaching peak efficiency of pathogen inactivation. The main causes of pathogen inactivation using UV-C are mutation

UV-C light is a reliable and effective way to inactivate bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms. Its germicidal properties have been known for over 100 years, but this is the first time it’s been built into a wearable air purifier.

In recent years, there have been significant technological advancements in UV-C LEDs (265nm). LEDs are now low maintenance, reliable and non-ozone producing thanks to breakthroughs in UV-C technology.

Over two years into the pandemic, we may say that the restaurant industry has been changed forever by COVID-19, with new customer behaviours left in its wake. 

The pandemic has propelled the restaurant industry to develop new, creative ways to serve customers, from online ordering and virus-proof home delivery to safe dining at the premises. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, social distancing has been the primary measure of decreasing the rapid transmission of CO
