Kev siv tshuaj tua kab mob ultraviolet (UV) tau ua lub hnub qub ua yeeb yam hauv kev kho dej thiab huab cua hauv ob lub xyoo dhau los, vim yog ib feem ntawm nws lub peev xwm los muab kev kho mob yam tsis muaj kev siv tshuaj phem.

UV sawv cev rau lub wavelengths uas poob ntawm pom lub teeb thiab x-ray ntawm electromagnetic spectrum. UV ntau tuaj yeem muab faib ua UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, thiab Vacuum-UV. UV-C feem sawv cev rau lub wavelengths ntawm 200 nm - 280 nm, lub wavelength siv nyob rau hauv peb cov khoom tua kab mob LED.
UV-C photons nkag mus rau hauv cov hlwb thiab ua rau cov nucleic acid ua rau lawv tsis muaj peev xwm tsim tawm, lossis microbiologically inactive. Cov txheej txheem no tshwm sim hauv qhov xwm txheej; Lub hnub emits UV rays uas ua li no.

Thaum txias, peb siv Lub Teeb Emitting Diodes (LEDs) los tsim cov qib siab ntawm UV-C photons. Cov kab hluav taws xob raug coj mus rau cov kab mob, kab mob thiab lwm yam kab mob hauv dej thiab huab cua, lossis ntawm qhov chaw kom ua rau cov kab mob tsis muaj mob hauv vib nas this.

Ntau yam tib yam uas LEDs tau hloov pauv cov zaub thiab teeb pom kev lag luam, UV-C LED thev naus laus zis tau teeb tsa los muab cov kev daws teeb meem tshiab, txhim kho, thiab nthuav dav hauv kev kho cua thiab dej. Dual barrier, kev tiv thaiv tom qab pom yog tam sim no muaj nyob rau qhov twg mercury-raws li tshuab tsis tau yav tas los tau conceivably siv.

Cov LEDs no tuaj yeem muab tso rau hauv ntau lub tshuab los kho dej, huab cua, thiab qhov chaw. Cov tshuab no kuj ua haujlwm nrog cov ntim LED kom tawg cov cua sov thiab txhim kho cov txheej txheem tshuaj tua kab mob.
