The Next Revolution: UV-C LED Technology
At AquiSense, we use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to generate high levels of UV-C photons. UV-C photons penetrate cells and damage the nucleic acid, rendering them incapable of reproduction, or microbiologically inactive. This process occurs in nature; the sun emits UV rays that perform this way. The rays are directed at viruses, bacteria and other pathogens within water and air or on surfaces to render those pathogens harmless in seconds.
