High-level disinfection in a range of applications using PureFize® UV technology

The future of biofilm control and microbial inactivation

PureFize’s groundbreaking broad-spectrum UV technology is setting a new benchmark in disinfection, offering superior effectiveness against biofilms and a diverse range of microorganisms. Unlike traditional UVC disinfection technologies that rely on a single wavelength, PureFize employs a broad spectrum of UV light, ensuring unparalleled performance in applications where conventional methods fall short.

Single-wavelength UVC: Effective, but limited

Many UVC disinfection systems use a single wavelength (254, 265, 275, or 278 nm) – to target microbial DNA. While effective in many scenarios, this approach has inherent limitations:

Limited penetration: UVC struggles to penetrate several biofilm matrices, such as those formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leaving residual microorganisms intact.
Targeted mechanism: Single-wavelength UVC primarily damages microbial DNA but may not effectively disrupt proteins, lipids, or other cellular structures.
Reduced versatility: Some pathogens develop resistance due to biofilm shielding or repair mechanisms.

PureFize: The broad-spectrum advantage

PureFize overcomes these challenges by spanning UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelengths, delivering a comprehensive microbial inactivation approach:

Enhanced biofilm penetration: Broad-spectrum UV breaks down extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), reaching embedded microorganisms more effectively.
Multi-target mechanisms: Beyond DNA damage, PureFize induces oxidative stress and disrupts cellular structures like proteins and lipids, leaving pathogens with no chance of survival.
Universal efficacy: Effective against a wider range of microorganisms, including mature biofilms that are notoriously difficult to eliminate.

Comparison: Broad-spectrum UV vs. single-wavelength UVC technologies
