What is PX-UV?

PX-UV, or Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet, is a type of disinfection technology that uses high-intensity, broad-spectrum UV light emitted in short, intense pulses to sterilize surfaces and environments. Unlike traditional continuous-wave UV systems that typically rely on low-pressure mercury lamps, PX-UV uses xenon lamps to produce UV light across a wide range of wavelengths, including UVC, UVB, and UVA.

The pulsed nature of the light allows PX-UV systems to deliver high doses of UV radiation in a very short time, which can be more effective at breaking down the DNA or RNA of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes it a potent technology for disinfection and sterilization in various settings, such as hospitals, laboratories, and public spaces. The technology’s ability to deliver powerful bursts of UV light means it can rapidly disinfect surfaces without the need for chemicals and with minimal heat generation, reducing potential damage to materials being disinfected.

Moreover, PX-UV technology is considered safer for use in occupied spaces compared to traditional UV systems, as the exposure time is short and can be controlled to minimize risks to human health. This aspect of PX-UV is especially significant in environments where maintaining a sterile setting is crucial while also ensuring the safety and well-being of people present.
