Sterilization system provides high-speed surface microbial decontamination


The Z-1000 Pulsed Light sterilization system is a non-contact process that provides a low temperature, non-toxic, non-chemical, mercury-free way to decontaminate surfaces up to 12 inches (30.48 cm) wide. The system produces high peak power UV pulses at irradiance magnitudes and dose flux rates that deactivate microorganisms in seconds and induce microbial sterilization.

The system uses SteriPulse technology, which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for use with food or food surfaces. Providing a high germicidal pulsed UV light treatment, it delivers microsecond duration pulses with peak power greater than 1 kW/cm2 (over 4,000 times the power of the sun on the earth’s surface) and an intensity of 1.27 J/cm2. This results in rapid inactivation of microorganisms, including fungal yeasts and molds, bacteria, rickettsiae and viruses. The sterilization system can be used in the lab for research and prototype development and easily scaled up and integrated into existing or new production lines. XENON
