UV-C News
Using light to fight viruses – Osram presents its first UV-C LEDs
- LED technology makes extremely space-saving disinfection applications possible
- UV-C light can eliminate up to 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria
- Osram Opto Semiconductors is driving industrialization of UV-C LEDs
ams OSRAM’s high and low power UV-C LEDs can effectively inactivate SARS-CoV-2
- UV-C LEDs such as the Oslon UV 3636 from ams OSRAM inactivate up to 99.99 percent of viruses at a dose of 3,6 mJ/cm²
- Even at very low intensities SARS-CoV-2 virus can be inactivated effectively which allows more efficient system designs for e.g. air disinfection systems
- The UV-C radiation damages the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) within the virus and therefore not only works for SARS-CoV-2, but independently from the variant
Osram invests in UV LED specialist Bolb Inc.
- Osram acquires around 20 percent of US company Bolb Inc. via its venture capital arm Fluxunit
- Strategic investment is an important building block for the development of cutting-edge UV-C LED products
- Special lighting technology enables disinfection of water, surfaces and air
