Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur develops UV-based
system for disinfecting medical accessories
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur has developed an Advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation Sterilisation System based on UV light and metal oxide nanoparticles in catalyst panels. This can be used for sterilisation of medical accessories being used by doctors and COVID-19 patient handlers.
The System has two indigenous
assemblies of UV light sterilisation
systems housed within a portable biological safety environment to kill the bacteria and viruses. Metal oxide nanoparticles in catalyst plates are synergistically used in the system in combination with UV lamps.The process eliminates microorganisms including virus and any other suspended particles. It also has an advanced control system and is enabled with the semi-automated operation.
