The International Conference on Far-UVC Science and Technology (ICFUST 2026) will take place June 23–25, 2026 at Aarhus University, Denmark.

The impact of far-UVC radiation (200–230 nm) on pathogens, cells, skin, and eyes – a collection and analysis of a hundred years of data

This characteristic allows 222 nm UV lamps to be used in various settings where human exposure is inevitable, such as hospitals, public transport, and other high-traffic areas, ensuring a high level of disinfection without compromising human health.

The Vertex 222 is a state-of-the-art sanitation solution for optimal room coverage. With its 222 nm Krypton Chloride Excimer Lamp, this versatile device can be installed in corners, ensuring comprehensive decontamination.

As Far-UVC technology safety profile for occupied spaces, the DUO 222 Downlight enables around-the-clock disinfection without interrupting workflows. Seamlessly integrated into your facility, it operates silently in the background—no need to pause production or disrupt daily activities.

In operating theatres, the UV222 Linear offers flexibility, suitable for being installed as a stand-alone unit or integrated with a Laminar Air Flow (LAF) system. This integration ensures effective, chemical-free decontamination

By utilizing Far-UVC (222 nm) light, the system ensures rapid microbial decontamination of both air and exposed surfaces without damaging sensitive materials or generating particles.

With a durable design and minimal maintenance requirements, the system ensures consistent disinfection performance over time. Its solid-state components and mercury-free operation align with modern safety and sustainability expectations—without compromising operational uptime.

The UV222 Cleanroom Downlight is specially designed for cleanroom environments to effectively minimize microbial contamination risks. It integrates seamlessly into cleanroom ceilings, providing continuous, chemical-free surface and air decontamination using advanced Far-UVC technology.

The UV222 Step-On is touchless, chemical-free, and a fast and effective way of decontaminating the entire outsole of the shoes, reaching areas inaccessible to sticky mats and wipes.

In 2024, VIANEX began implementing Far UVC air and surface disinfection technology across its facilities to meet the strictest disinfection requirements. This upgrade involved the installation and consequent validation of the innovative UV222® technology (Far UVC @ 222 nm), produced by UV Medico Denmark and distributed in Greece by G.Z. Icarus 222 Ltd.

Σήμερα, η τεχνολογία αυτή τυγχάνει ευρύτατης αναγνώρισης, αφού όλες οι μελέτες του Columbia University, του Aarhus University Δανίας, του University of Colorado Boulder, του University of St Andrews, του University of Dundee, του Kobe University Ιαπωνίας κ.ά. κατέδειξαν τόσο την ασφάλεια της χρήσης του φιλτραρισμένου UV222® στην παρουσία ανθρώπων, όσο και το υψηλό επίπεδο απολύμανσης αέρα και επιφανειών που επιτυγχάνει σε πολύ λίγο χρόνο.

Far-UV-C light (200–230 nm) is an alternative technology that may provide similar efficacy while being safe in occupied areas.

Far-UVC light is a form of ultraviolet light that can kill viruses and bacteria in the air without harming humans.

The toilet plume can be a vector for disease transmission.

In the case of S. aureus, irradiation with 6 mJ/cm2 reduced the bacterial number 104-fold, and the bacterial number was reduced to an undete

Far-UVC technology can offer a more reliable and less intrusive solution for mitigating indoor pathogen transmission.

222-nm UVC had a more potent germicidal effect on bacterial endospores compared with 254-nm UVC

This study is the first to directly demonstrate far-UVC anti-microbial efficacy against airborne pathogens in an occupied indoor location.

Results from the study demonstrated that the Far UV-C light technology effectively reduced the presence of Candida auris on surfaces...
