not all UV-C systems are created equal - find out why the Spectra 1000 from integrated UVC solutions is different
UV-C cleaning systems
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.

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.
