Japanese Toyoda Gosei has developed a series of newest UVC LED chips for sterilization

Toyoda Gosei announced its latest deep UV LED modules that are suitable for sterilization of water, air, and surfaces.

Deep UV LEDs can emit short wavelength UV light (whose wavelength  is 260nm~280nm) that destroy the genetic materials of viruses and bacteria. They are proven as a new sterilizing light solution to replace mercury lamps.

In order to enlarge deep UV LED applications, Toyoda Gosei has been developing UVC modules or units with waterproof or heat dissipation features. In a recent test made with the Biomedical Science Association, a Japanese NPO, the modules of Toyoda Gosei showed effective disinfection ability to remove human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), which has genetic materials similar to SARS-CoV2, the pathogen of Covid-19.

Working with the Toyota Group and other companies, Toyoda Gosei has been focusing on developing solutions for water, air and surface sterilization to achieve safer and healthier living.
