Stanley Electric Proves 99.9% Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 for 265 nm UV-C LED in Mass Production

Summary of test result:
Virus evaluated:
• SARS-CoV-2
Method:
• 10 ml of virus solutions (5 x 10⁵ PFU/ml) in dishes were irradiated with
265 nm UVC LED at different time points.
• Infectious virus titers were determined by plaque assay on cells.
Test result:
• Inactivation rate of SARS-CoV-2 is 99.9% or more, when the UV Dose
is 5.1 mJ/cm²

Stanley Electric is aiming to use this 265 nm UVC LED for various applications, such as surface sterilization, air sterilization, and water disinfection for providing safe drinking water, to control infection against SARS-CoV-2. Please note that we will continue to verify the superiority of this wavelength, by conducting further evaluation tests with different wavelengths of UVC light sources. We will inform you of the verification result once the test is completed.
