Woburn, MA, USA—A pulsed UV system for R/D laboratories involved with the bio-reduction sterilization of air, water, food, pharmaceuticals, and surface decontamination is available from XENON Corporation.

The SteriPulse-XL® Pulsed UV/Visible Light System is a bench-top unit that delivers high peak energy which is 100,000 times more powerful than the sun and employs mercury-free, UV kill technology. Featuring a rapid, low-heat process, three pulses in under 1 sec. produce a >log 6 kill for Bacillus subtilis, demonstrating how this benign technology provides a much higher rate of sterilization than standard continuous UV lamp exposure.

Suitable for a broad range of sterilization and decontamination research involving a wide variety of products, the SteriPulse-XL® Pulsed UV/Visible Light System has a slide-out tray and permits the use of small laboratory samples to provide proof-of-principle validation. Applications include biological warfare, terminal sterilization, medical devices, barrier isolators, closed containers, involving air, water, food and pharmaceuticals.
