Successfully killing airborne viruses and bacteria
UVC LEDs from the US manufacturer Bolb achieve a 99.95% kill rate for airborne viruses and bacteria, as confirmed by the Guangzhou Institute of Microbiology. The tests were conducted, among other viruses and bacteria, on aerosolised multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In a closed air-disinfection reference design, the researchers used a Bolb UVC LED light module with an electrical input power of 40 W and a UVC output power of 2.5 W. At a flow rate of up to 3,000 litres per minute, this air disinfection device achieved an inactivation rate of 99.95%.
