Researchers find SARS-Cov-2 survives on glass, paper and stainless steel for longer than thought. “The experiments were carried out in the dark, as UV light has already been shown to kill the virus. Some exper…
UVC light has been shown to inactivate the novel coronavirus in experiments. In a few laboratory experiments, UVC light has been found to destroy the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to infect a host (for example, a mo…
There is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about UVC light and how it works. The key question is what power density of UVC light emission is needed to "destroy" pathogens and viruses. To understand w…
The International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) believes that UV disinfection technologies can play a role in a multiple barrier approach to reducing the transmission of the virus causing COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, based on …
Consumer UVC germicidal devices are entering the market rapidly because of an increased demand for sanitizing and germicidal capabilities in the face of COVID-19. But are they all safe? UVC radiation (the most energetic…
Nearly 60% feel uneasy eating inside, so restaurants try sterilizing UV wands, tabletop air purifiers as winter looms. Restaurants hoping to see the other side of the pandemic are pouring money into air quality upgrades …
The wavelength of UV radiation ranges from 328 nm to 210 nm (3280 A to 2100 A). Its maximum bactericidal effect occurs at 240–280 nm. Mercury vapor lamps emit more than 90% of their radiation at 253.7 nm, which is …
Demand for ultraviolet (UV) wands has grown rapidly, promoted with government approval as coronavirus killers. But the FDA recently released safety warnings for consumers following reports of eye injuries, skin burn…
Given the current outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, consumers may be interested in purchasing ultraviolet-C (UVC) lamps to disinfect surfaces in the home …
Airports and stores are starting to turn to ultraviolet radiation to disinfect surfaces as a means of curbing COVID-19’s spread. But this week three organizations devoted to supporting and developing standards for …
Jim Malley, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of New Hampshire, said germicidal UVC light has been used for decades to disinfect surfaces and kill viruses. Airline companies, businesses, …
In the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, an old weapon has re-emerged [1]. More than a century after Niels Finsen won the 1903 Nobel Prize for discovering that ultraviolet (UV) light co…
The coronavirus pandemic has breathed new life into a decades-old technique that can zap viruses and bacteria: ultraviolet light. Hospitals have been using it for years to cut down on the spread of drug…
Amidst the current uncertainty of the global pandemic, the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has facilitated a special FREE educational program on germicidal ultraviolet (GUV), photobiological basics, carcinogenicit…
Our main entity, Psoria Shield, Inc. has over a decade of clinical experience with UVA and UVB wavelengths in the medical treatment arena.
Psoria Shield, Inc. acquired proprietary UVA and UVB technology from NASA™, to develop LED generated high energy and narrow bandpass energy density applications for the treatment of various skin diseases.
Psoria Shield, Inc. developed a spin-off of this space technology using the same unique Deep UV LEDs to treat human disorders here on Earth.
As a result of extensive research and development, our team acquired knowledge which has led to the development of ProTec 99™, a UVC sterilization device, featuring advanced virus-killing properties.
ProTec 99™ uses patent-pending ConSrv™ technology to deliver a 99.99% effective destruction dosage of 254nm energy in a small compact lightweight portable battery-powered device.
Protect Scientific, Inc. is listed and registered as an approved germicidal manufacturing facility by the US regulatory agency that governs UV-C products [EPA]. Our EPA establishment # is: 96482-NY-1, EPA Region: 02.
Our objective is to provide a safe, effective, non-chemical, and easy to use product to render viruses and bacterial pathogens inactive and non-reproducible (no longer infectious). This can be applied quickly and effectively on surfaces, documents, keyboards etc..
