Benchtop UV Cure Chambers for 365nm 302nm and 254nm

We have three compact and low cost UV cure chambers available. The NEW CL-3000 models replace the older (CL-1000) 365NM and 254NM models.

Applications

The UV Curing chambers are controlled by a microprocessor and feature a unique photo-feedback system which measures and controls UV output and ensures maximum energy efficiency. This controls accuracy on a repeatable, reliable basis. The chamber is suited for use in providing a calibrated UV dose (to a NIST traceable standard), membrane crosslinking, biomolecular crosslinking and for UV induced mutations.

The chamber Measures 43cm deep x 40cm wide and is 26.7cm high deep with an internal chamber space of 35cm deep x 27cm wide x 15cm high. There are six 8w fluorescent UV lamps inside the chamber and these are small and take up less shelf space than any other UV chamber on the market. It provides simple preset manual controls via a touch responsive keypad. The UV Curing Chamber is also easy to maintain and has a built in calibration system. Factory calibrated, 230v / 50Hz available in 254nm (UV-C), 302nm (UV-B) and 365nm (UV-A) versions with CE.

Ultraviolet-based Disinfection for the Inactivation of Viruses on Respirator Masks

The UV-C (254nm) version of the chamber can be used to disinfect N95 respirator masks. The shortwave ultraviolet light has germicidal properties and acts directly on the DNA/RNA of the microorganisms. DNA and RNA maximally around 260nm which has the effect of damaging the DNA/RNA structure. The Microorganisms are unable to counteract the extensive high-intensity UV doses within the UV chamber which ultimately inactivate or kill the microorganism.

Using UV-C to disinfect and kill germs is not a new process but with the exceptional circumstances with Covid-19 at the moment. UVC light has several advantages over chemical disinfectants which not only leach into the environment or items being cleaned but can lead to the development of resistant pathogens in the longer term.

With N95 masks in high demand at the moment, the UV-C version of the cure chamber is an effective way to decontaminate and disinfect masks that are in limited supply.
