A new system that employs high energy pulsed UV light to achieve rapid bio-reduction and surface disinfection of boxes, bags, and carts prior to entering an aseptic room is being introduced by Xenon Corporation of Wilmington, Massachusetts.

The SteriPulse® RS-3000 Aseptic Sanitization System is designed to reduce contamination risks from packages entering an aseptic room, instantly and safely, without heat or chemicals. Featuring pulsed high peak energy UV light technology to disinfect the packages, this system is capable of 2 to 4 log kill in less than one second; making it ideal for in-line conveyor systems.

Designed to eliminate the use of harsh chemicals, the SteriPulse® RS-3000 Aseptic Sanitization System is totally “green” and the pulsed UV light exposure significantly reduces the possibility of having infected packages which are stored in a “dirty” area from entering an aseptic room. Modular system components include lamps, controller and power supply which can be configured to match the requirements of specific installations.
