Signify today announced that Boston University has determined that a Signify ultraviolet (UV) light source would almost always deactivate the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 if dosed at the right level.
The university’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) exposed materials containing the virus to a UV-C tube lamp from Signify. It found that a dose of 5 mJ/cm2 resulted in “a reduction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus of 99% in 6 seconds.” (SARS-CoV-2 is the more scientific name for the novel coronavirus).
