Far-UVC module targets close-quarters disinfection
NS Nanotech Module with a compact integrated power supply provides flexible design options
NS Nanotech is shipping its far-UVC ShortWaveLight 215 emitter with a new integrated power supply in a modular product design for easy installation in close-quarters disinfection applications.
The company also announced availability of a fully functioning desktop sample enabling developers to easily perform photobiological and performance testing of the new 215-nanometer far-UVC light source.
The NS Nanotech ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter is connected to a slim, custom power supply by a set of wires in a product module designed to provide maximum flexibility for designers of far-UVC disinfection applications. Single-unit quantities of the integrated module are priced at $350.
The company claims that the ShortWaveLight 215 Module is the world's only solid-state semiconductor to produce 215nm far-UVC light. Running on a standard 12-volt power source, it enables human-safe photonic disinfection of deadly pathogens that cause Covid, measles, bird flu, tuberculosis, and many other diseases.
Because its short far-UVC wavelength doesn't easily penetrate skin or eyes, it can be safe to use in occupied areas. And the small size of the new integrated module enables disinfection of confined spaces where other ultraviolet light sources cannot be easily deployed.
"Our ShortWaveLight 215 Module is powerful enough to safely and effectively disinfect the airspace in your personal breathing zone," said Seth Coe-Sullivan, CEO and Co-founder of NS Nanotech. "It is a compact, affordable, solid-state far-UVC light source ideally suited for constant close-quarters disinfection of office cubicles, school buses, ambulances, taxicabs, airplanes, and countless other occupied spaces."
"The power supply and lamp can be aligned in a slim vertical package, stacked side-by side, or angled in whatever ways work best for any close-quarters application," Coe-Sullivan said. "You can bundle the emitter and power supply in a 45-degree configuration to fit neatly into the junction of the ceilings and walls of buses, ambulances, and other vehicles. Or a module arranged vertically can be small and narrow enough to flush-mount behind a wall."
NS Nanotech has also designed its own prototype sample desktop product that makes it easy for developers to perform photobiological or performance testing. A black sphere (pictured above), similar in size to an Amazon Echo or Apple HomePod speaker, integrates the ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter module, runs on a standard 12-volt power source, and sits smartly on a desktop.
Single quantities of the sphere are priced at $500. "It's easy to envision a far-UVC desktop purifier for consumers that looks a lot like our ShortWaveLight prototype sample," Coe-Sullivan said.
