Abstract |
Focused Multivector Ultraviolet technology rapidly killed the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in-vitro. Plates were inoculated with a mean of greater than 106 plaque forming units of USA-WA1 Washington index patient strain of SARS-CoV-2 and exposed to ultraviolet, resulting in mean reductions of 99.99% within 30 seconds, 99.999% within 60 seconds, and 99.9999% within 90 seconds. These results support the effectiveness of Focused Multivector Ultraviolet technology for SARS-CoV-2 disinfection.
