Our high performance UV lamps will reveal contamination not visible under normal lighting, dramatically demonstrating any areas that have been missed on apparently clean surfaces.

Selection of UV light equipment should be optimised for a particular application and depends on the following requirements; UV light irradiation area, UV light intensity and ambient light levels.

Quick & Easy Inspection

• Check cleanliness of surfaces and equipment
• Monitor effectiveness of cleaning prodedures
• Identify problem areas not cleaned properly, which can then be re-cleaned to a higher standard ensuring dirt and bacteria are removed
• Audit tool for improving cleaning regimes to reduce bio burden and pathogen levels
• Train new and existing staff to clean to a higher standard
• Increase public confidence by showing that hospitals are taking cleanliness seriously, by going much further than what can be seen with the naked eye

UV inspection offers a quick, easy and effective method for improving cleanliness in hospitals, by monitoring the effectiveness of cleaning programme's and benchmarking. Where cleaning is not to the required standard re-cleaning can be instigated immediately.

This process relies on fluorescence which can be induced in certain organic and inorganic substances by stimulation with UV blacklight.

Fluorescence is a photoluminescence effect where light of a visible colour is emitted from some substances during stimulation under UV light.

UV fluorescent inspection is widely used and accepted by forensic scientists. Trace evidence such as blood, urine, semen and saliva is revealed by causing visible fluorescence from these substances.
