Rapid handheld SARS-CoV-2 surface sterilization device using high-power UVC-LED arrays

Nitride Solutions intends to determine the commercial and technical feasibility for design of UV-C LED components for disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 for commercial, industrial and military uses. We believe that UV-C LEDs are the best sterilization solution for aerosol spread onto surfaces. NSI will use its expertise in UV-C LEDS, optical design and reflective materials to develop an optimum power and irradiance pattern for portable surface sterilization, and draw on our relationships in the UV-C LED industry to identify the best performing and most economic components to match the design requirements.  NSI has experience in the design and manufacturing of UV-C products, having recently introduced the Covinix UV-C sterilization wand in conjunction with Epileds, a Taiwan-based leader in UV-C LED production, and HPL a leading LED packaging company. We have partnered with MRI Global to develop the design and test methods to be used to determine efficacy of the COVInix Pro prototype unit to be tested in Phase I. MRI has extensive experience in testing against SARS-CoV-2, and has the in-house capability to measure both surface aerosol particle reduction and virus kill efficacy.
