Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) systems utilize short-wavelength ultraviolet light (200–280 nm) to inactivate microorganisms by damaging their nucleic acids, effectively preventing replication. This germicidal wavelength is absorbed by DNA and RNA, disrupting essential cellular functions.UV-C is used as a supplemental method for microbial reduction on air and hard, non-porous surfaces, helping to reduce the presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in environments where traditional cleaning may not reach all areas.As a non-chemical approach, UV-C leaves no residues and does not generate ozone when properly engineered. It is intended to complement—not replace—standard cleaning and disinfection practices.

MS2 Bacteriophage (Covid surrogate): >6 log₁₀ reduction in aerosol testing*
S. aureus ATCC 6538: 5.26 log₁₀ reduction in aerosol testing*
What differentiates the Spectra 1000?
EFFECTIVENESS | EFFICIENCY | AFFORDABILITY
Our powerful, proprietary light array maintains peak UV-C output throughout its cycle.
Our patented dual-action airflow not only ensures that peak UV-C is maintained, it offers simultaneous microbial reduction of airborne pathogens.
Intuitive user interface, flexible single or tandem placement with a lightweight design.
Intertek UL certified PIR motion sensors, visual signs, and polymer encapsulated lights enhance staff safety.
Design engineering and manufacturing innovation substantially reduce the cost of our USA manufacturer, resulting in a device that maximizes UV-C output while allowing affordable and adequate deployment in any size facility.
Real-time, cloud-based reporting allows facilities to monitor cleaning cycles, generate audit trails, and ensure compliance.
