UVC Dosimeter™ Verifies UVC Exposure
The UVC dosimeter™ is a safe and efficient tool that can be used to verify UVC exposure of a surface, or an instrument, in healthcare environments, including patient rooms and surgical suites; in laboratories; and also, in food and beverage manufacturing and processing facilities.
The technology consists of a photo-chromatic ink that changes color when it is stimulated by certain UVC radiation (253.7 nm). The UVC Dosimeter from American Ultraviolet:
- Can increase the efficiency of UV disinfection processes by running shorter cycle times and providing real–time results.
- Changes color at various energy levels, which correlates with published "k" values for various microorganisms.
- Measures specific wavelengths of UVC radiation 253.7 nm.
- Is available in quantities of 50 and 100.
- Has been tested in laboratory and hospital environments in the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
