| Description |
The UViC is capable to disinfect the personal items and office stationery, papers, files and similar items for reducing the risk of infection among people. Unlike chemical sanitizers, UV-C does not leave a residue and does not require extensive safety equipments. It works as a mode of surface sterilization by destroying the nucleic acid and disrupting the DNA of micro-organisms. The working capacity of the unit in terms of the total surface area of the objects to be treated / exposed is 25 × 25 cm2. The estimated cost of the unit is approximately Rs. 1,500. However, the system can be scaled up as per the need.
The ICAR-Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology, Ludhiana, Punjab has developed a smart, compact and Portable Smart UV-C Disinfection System (named UViC) that is useful in fighting against the COVID-19 Pandemic. Not Available |
