Xenon Flash Lamps Decontamination Solutions

How Xenon Flash Lamps Enable Effective Decontamination

UVC Light Technology Explained

By precisely controlling the current density within our xenon flashlamps, we can significantly increase the proportion of Ultra Violet C (UVC) output. According to the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), UVC light in the 200-280nm range provides the most effective germicidal action against pathogens.

Key Technical Specifications:

Wavelength Range: 180-280 nm (peak germicidal effectiveness)
Broad Spectrum Output: 200-1400 nm with enhanced UVC concentration
Microbial Inactivation: Proven effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores
Pulse Duration: Customisable for specific application requirements

Decontamination Applications & Industries
