Shoe dryer MEDIA-TECH MT6506 — compact shoe dryer, width 170 mm, cable 1.4 m, overheat protection

High-energy UV-C radiation at a wavelength of 253.7 nm induces photochemical reactions in microorganisms. This wavelength is absorbed by cellular nucleic acids and, depending on the applied dose, causes lethal or damaging effects on bacteria and fungal mycelium.

Advantages

UV-C at 253.7 nm provides a direct, physical method of inactivating bacteria and fungal mycelium without chemical residues. The action is dose-dependent, allowing control over the level of microbial reduction. The mechanism targets nucleic acids, reducing the likelihood of residual toxicity.

Key specifications

• Wavelength: 253.7 nm
• Mode of action: photochemical damage to nucleic acids
• Target organisms: bacteria and fungal mycelium
• Effect: dose-dependent inactivation or damage

How to use

Apply UV-C radiation at the specified wavelength for an exposure time and intensity appropriate to the desired microbial reduction. Ensure proper shielding and follow safety guidelines to prevent human or animal exposure to UV-C. Adjust dose according to the type of microorganism and the application environment.

Recommendations

Use only certified UV-C equipment, maintain safe distances, and follow manufacturer instructions and relevant safety standards to minimize risk. Avoid direct exposure to skin and eyes.
