Phoseon’s KeyPro™ family of products uses high-intensity, deep ultraviolet light to disinfect and decontaminate laboratory equipment and surfaces. Independent testing has shown efficacy of KeyPro against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and biomolecules like ribonuclease. KeyPro successfully inactivates influenza A virus in less than 5 seconds (see figure 1). Novel Coronavirus and Influenza A are both enveloped RNA viruses and may be susceptible to UV inactivation under similar conditions.
For vaccine development, researchers routinely need to work with inactivated viruses that have structures preserved. Preliminary results indicate that some viruses can be completely or partially inactivated with UV LED technology while retaining recognition features and antibody function. Retaining recognition features is challenging with existing methods of virus inactivation.
Phoseon KeyPro™ KP100 decontamination system is a stand-alone system where samples can be exposed to a controlled intensity and dose of UVC radiation (278nm), providing validated, simple and fast decontamination of microplates and preparatory ...
