-The reason it is absolutely critical that the correct wavelength of ultraviolet is used for germicidal applications is due to the mechanism through which the pathogen becomes deactivated. DNA and RNA are the building blocks of life, including microscopic organisms and pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and molds. Without this genetic material, pathogens are unable to reproduce, eventually leading to the death of an infectious colony.

-DNA molecules are made up of nucleic acids called adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). (Uracil replaces thymine in RNA). Robust and repeated research has found that when thymine is exposed to specific ultraviolet wavelengths, the molecule absorbs the ultraviolet energy and undergoes a chemical bond change. This change in chemical bond configuration results in an alteration of the DNA sequence, which prevents the pathogen from reproducing.

-Thymine (and Uracil) have an absorption spectra that are especially sensitive at wavelengths at or near 265 nanometers. At wavelengths longer than 300 nanometers, there is almost no absorption. The absorption spectra are shown in the shaded white curves in the chart below.

Attention:

1.The interior Lighting and Germicidal Lamp cannot be turned on at the same time.

2.Do not expose to eyes or skin,Children are prohibited to use!

3.The recommended sterilization time is more than 30 minutes.
4.People, animals and plants must leave the site and avoid looking directly at the UV light source.
5.After sterilization, ventilate with the site to dispel the odor remaining after the death of bacteria and viruses.
