The BioGlow 254nm Handheld UV lamp - A Transilluminators.com best seller!
The BioGlow® series of Handheld UV Lamps provides UV radiation with wavelengths of 365nm or 254nm, or a combination of both 254nm and 365nm. The AA series of UV lamps represent a technical innovation in the evolutionary process of UV lamps, with a unique built-in position device which automatically protects operators from exposure to UV radiation.
Features
- Reliable components, high UV intensity.
- Single 254 nm wavelength.
- Portable, light weight, and ergonomically designed.
- Single or dual wavelength.
- Choice of corded or cordless rechargeable* units. Please select.
- Unique automatic safety switch to prevent harmful UV radiation exposure when unit is turned upside down (in battery operated models only).
*The cordless unit uses 12V rechargeable batteries and includes a charger (100~240VAC, 50/60Hz). A fully charged the unit can sustain 3 hours of continuous use or approximately 500 intermittent uses.
UV Protection
UV-C's effects on the human body vary depending on length of exposure, but can cause painful burns on the skin. It can also cause temporary damage to the cornea if observed directly. Aside from these threats, UV-C is a known carcinogen for human skin. We strongly suggest using protective eyewear, face shields, and gloves when working with UV-C.
Why use the BioGlow Handheld UV Lamp?
The BioGlow 254nm UV lamp can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Sterilization and disinfection:
- UV light has germicidal properties and can be used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on surfaces, equipment, or in the air.
- Handheld UV lamps are often used in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings for sterilizing tools, workspaces, and equipment.
- Material identification:
- Some materials fluoresce (emit light) when exposed to UV light, which can be used to identify them.
- Handheld UV lamps are used to detect the presence of certain substances, such as minerals, gems, or security markings.
- Forensic analysis:
- UV light can be used to reveal hidden or invisible evidence, such as bodily fluids, fingerprints, or other trace evidence at crime scenes.
- Handheld UV lamps are commonly used by forensic investigators to aid in the detection and collection of evidence.
- Photochemical reactions:
- UV light can initiate or accelerate certain photochemical reactions, such as the curing of adhesives or the cross-linking of polymers.
- Handheld UV lamps can be used in various industrial and research applications that involve photochemical processes.
