Ultra-Tech Lighting has developed Sterile-Bright, a multi-tiered approach to surface and air sterilization using a combination of powerful UV light that directly decomposes pathogens from its radiation and generates significant ozone (O3) that acts as a strong sterilizing agent.
This combination provides the optimal solution for effectively sterilising surfaces and air.
Many world-class organisations such as WHO, EPA, CDC, ASHRAE have been recommending the use of UV-C for sanitising and disinfecting water, environments and air conditioning systems for decades.
Using UV-C and ozone Sterile-Bright™ works by destroying the DNA and RNA of microorganisms and is therefore effective against all types of viruses including Flu’s, Colds, Corona Virus/SARS, Measles and German Measles etc
White Paper
Dr Sung Ph.D (Harvard University) published findings on Sterile-Bright UVC. In the analysis, the Sterile-Bright™ product line emerged as having the most promising UV disinfecting technology.
How It Works?
Sterile-Bright attacks DNA and cell wall integrity. Using a specialised carrier frequency approach, ionizing radiation below 200nm can travel further through the atmosphere before being neutralised by oxygen and nitrogen.
Sterile-Bright’s approach provides a more effective “kill rate” at longer distances and creates ancillary sterilization agents including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from atmospheric water. The multiple sterilization pathways generated combines mutually exclusive and proven disinfection and sanitization modalities for the most comprehensive and effective non-chemical approach* that addresses bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. The light also effectively destroys larvae and other pests.
Sterile Bright Objective
Sterile-Bright technology was in development prior to the COVID-19 outbreak to address widespread problems of non-chemical/non-toxic sterilization methodologies.
Use of chlorine and other bleaching (oxidation) agents has come under scrutiny because of known toxicity and costly application. Sterile-Bright targets typical applications including hospitals, food processing, service facilities, offices and hotels and public areas like movie theatres, restaurants, schools and sporting stadiums.
SOLUTION
UV/OZONE APPROACH: Properly tuned UV light can destroy all mentioned pathogens quickly, both airborne and/or on surfaces.
Ozone can circulate through an entire space, destroying viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA.
COVID-19 is an enveloped virus which is more sensitive to physico-chemical challenges presented by Sterile-BrightTM technology. It should be noted that ozone's effects upon unsaturated lipids is one of its best documented biochemical actions. Atmospheric ozone at 9 ppm for just 240 seconds has been shown to deactivate 3.3-log10 of MBP with an equally devastating impact upon viruses like COVID-19.
Sterile-BrightTM technology is capable of ozone concentrations well in excess of 9ppm.
PROBLEM
Pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores are biological macromolecules, each with different modalities.
Viruses are smaller and more hardened than most bacteria; multiplying only within the host cell while bacteria can replicate independently.
Fungi can be even more resilient than bacteria or viruses while spores present other unique challenges.
All these pathogens can exist on surfaces and some can be airborne. Those that can exist in the air are particularly dangerous because of their rapid transmission rate.
