![]() ![]() Is a video interview series with industry leaders, celebrities and influencers that covers trends impacting businesses and consumers amid the "new normal." There will always be change in our world, and we'll be here to discuss how to navigate it all. Hear more about Vioguard's pricey but impressive technology in the video interview above with CNET's Brian Cooley. Still, $899 may be more than most people paid for any device they might want to disinfect in a Cubby Plus. Multiple patents cover their door levers, pulls/pushes, railings, light switches, shopping cart handles. The Cubby Plus 60-second cycle time is also much faster than the 10 minutes required by the HomeSoap sterilizer. New Technology reduces UVC LEDs by 75 and power by 87.5 and are patented Worldwide. Beeston says the difference is speed of operation and functional assurance: The Cubby Plus uses the same technology that earned the company's Defender self-sanitizing keyboard an FDA de novo clearance. The prevention-minded household might be intrigued by such a powerful disinfecting drawer, but put off by the Cubby Plus's $899 price, especially when the similar Phonesoap HomeSoap ultraviolet device can be had for under $200. UVC light inactivates virtually all viruses on surfaces it can illuminate, though the amount of time needed to do so with vary by the UVC emitting device. "According to a study done by Emory, we know that those viruses are pretty weak." Beeston says the 60-second cycle in its product is up to four times times longer than the exposure needed to kill many viruses and is up to the task of killing the hard-to-tackle Clostridioides difficile bacteria. "Right now all of the testing we're doing is done on surrogates that respond and react similarly to COVID-19," says Mark Beeston, VP of sales and marketing for Vioguard, saying that actual lab-grade test samples of the virus are hard to come by. The Vioguard Cubby Plus is a tray-style cabinet that bathes devices in UV light for a prescribed amount of time to kill bacteria and viruses. When it reopens, every microbe on your devices should be inactivated, though there is a slight asterisk around SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Its essentially an electronic device drawer that closes for 60 seconds, bathing whatevers inside it in UVC light. It's essentially an electronic device drawer that closes for 60 seconds, bathing whatever's inside it in UVC light. ![]() This technology kills disease-causing microorganisms keeping customers and employees safe. Its Cubby Plus is a home version of what started as a self-sterilizing keyboard for medical settings. Hamilton Now offeres a new UVC Ultraviolet C Light Technology. This is why many facilities and homeowners choose a portable air purifier equipped with the proper amount of UVC.Vioguard is trying to bend that curve toward home use. Many existing UVC applications are for cleaning the surfaces of the coils in the HVAC units. When applied in an existing duct system or rooftop HVAC unit, often times there is too much air moving too fast across the UVC bulbs to very effective on air disinfection. What this means is that the pathogens must have exposure to enough UVC light energy for a proper amount of time to be able to affect the DNA/RNA structure and thereby neutralize COVID-19, other viruses mold and bacteria. UV light, such as germicidal UVC can be an effective method of air purification against COVID-19 but it must be applied properly. UV light must be applied properly to achieve efficacy on airborne pathogens. The utilization of UVC as a germicide against viruses and bacteria has been tested and used for over a century, and with COVID-19 posing a barrier to re-opening the economy, a wide-scale implementation of germicidal UV is being evaluated by many businesses. The mutation-producing property of UVB can lead to skin cancer in humans, but with the use of UVC as a germicide inside buildings, it means an incredibly useful tool for preventing airborne infections because it leads to the inability of germs like viruses, bacteria, and mold to replicate and spread. ![]() His team has demonstrated in 2018 that far-UVC light can help control the spread of airborne-mediated microbial diseases. Brenner, director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia in a release. With the pyrimidine dimer mutation, these copiers cannot do their job, and the damaged DNA/RNA is unable to be used. But because viruses and bacteria are much smaller than human cells, far-UVC light can reach their DNA and kill them, explained David J. All DNA/RNA copying and processing that is required for replication of an organism or virus needs two protein workers (enzymes) known as DNA polymerases and RNA polymerases.
