iLAB America - UVS-1 Sterilization Chart

UVS-1 UV STERILIZATION CHART

The following chart shows a selection of Bacteria, Mold, Algae, Virus, Cyst, and Yeast and the amount of UV-C energy required to effectively eliminate it by rendering it incapable of reproducing.

The UVS-1 outputs a powerful 3,700uW of UV-C energy at 254nm at the surface. This is not just a bulb measurement, it's an actual measurement of the UV-C light energy at 254nm at the surface below the UVS-1.

The amounts listed are by exposure dosages. This means that if for example it takes 6,600 to effectively eliminate Influenza, and if the UVS-1 power output is 3,700, then it will take about 1 3/4 seconds of exposure time to eliminate it. This dosage time is accumulative, so it can be from multiple passes with the UVS-1.

Exposure dosage of Ultraviolet radiation listed below in µW sec/cm2. ( references )
