Not only does SteraSpace eliminate harmful micro-organisms and unpleasant smells, it also cleans deep into fabrics, removing the need for masking agents and help to reduce staff absenteeism.
How SteraSpace technology works
The air around us contains microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, and volatile organic compounds. These airborne microorganisms can cause unpleasant odors, spread infections, and promote mold growth.
Conventional room cleaning and disinfecting methods offer only temporary relief. Once an area is cleaned, airborne microorganisms immediately begin to resettle, recolonizing surfaces and exacerbating odor and infection issues.
Illnesses often spread in workplaces via airborne particles that are either directly inhaled or land on surfaces, where they can colonize and be transferred to hosts via their hands.
The SteraSpace air & surface sanitizer provides continuous, round-the-clock infection and odor control by sanitizing both the air and exposed surfaces.
The units work by combining advanced technologies to emit a flow of disinfecting plasma that’s proven to eliminate 98.11% of airborne and 99.6% of surface micro-organisms.
The plasma provides 24/7 protection by eliminating airborne and surface micro-organisms using a combination of 4 internal and transmitted technologies.
Germicidal UV
As air flows through the plasma chamber and over the UV lamp all micro-organisms in the air are killed/inactivated. The plasma chamber comprises of dual waveband UV lamps at 254nm and 185nm surrounded by nano coated catalytic plates.
Hydroxyl Radicals
As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing water vapor to be converted to highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH).
Superoxide Ions
As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing a release of free electrons, they bond with oxygen to form superoxide ions.
Ozone
As air flows through the chamber the 185nm UV light reacts with oxygen and forms monatomic oxygen, this then bonds with oxygen to form ozone.
The technologies produced in the plasma chamber act on the virus in different ways
Germicidal UV
Germicidal UV light changes the viruses RNA destroying their ability to reproduce.
Hydroxyl Radicals
Hydroxyl radicals (very strong oxidising agents) cause oxidative damage to the viral particle eventually converting to CO2 and water.
Superoxide Ions
Superoxide ions bond with airborne particles (including micro-organism’s) causing them to sink as they are heavier and become attracted to surfaces beneath.
Ozone
Ozone created by the UV light is a highly diffusive gas and a strong oxidising agent, this diffuses through the lipid coat to damage the viral RNA.
Steraspace efficacy data
The efficacy of SteraSpace technology has been tested by multiple laboratories including Porton Down, Leeds University and SGS, who are all based in the UK.
- Proven to eliminate 92.17% of airborne MS2 coliphage in 5 minutes
- Proven to eliminate 98.11% of airborne Staph. epidermidis in 5 minutes
- Proven to eliminate particles down to 0.0001 microns in size
Beware of suppliers who do not have readily available efficacy data or provide efficacy data from non-certified or non-EU laboratories.
SteraSpace is suitable for all spaces
Specifically designed to offer complete flexibility for installation in any type and size of indoor space for ease of use and on-going peace of mind.
