Decontamination & Disinfection

Die Fachsektion Photonik und Sensorik der GMBU e.V. Jena verfügt über langjährige Erfahrungen und Know-how auf dem Gebiet der Dekontamination und Desinfektion von Luft, Flüssigkeiten und Oberflächen. Hauptschwerpunkte sind die UV-Oxidation, die Photokatalyse und die Blaulicht-Desinfektion.

Project „ToLED“

The aim of the project was to implement UVC/blue light irradiation for chemical-free disinfection of the interior of restrooms. Suitable LEDs in the wavelength ranges of 260 to 280 nm and 400 to 450 nm were characterized. Relevant microorganisms

Project „Light4Seeds“

Acorns, as recalcitrant forest seeds, can generally only be stored for relatively short periods of time. Fructification with sufficient quantities of seed only takes place every 6 – 12 years. Fungal pathogens such as the black rot pathogen Ciboria

Project “Lagerapfel” VN

Extensive and in some cases very complex studies have shown that an extension of the storage time of apples through non-chemical treatment with hot water and/or ultrasound is in principle possible and only results in a slight loss of

Projekt “Hygienesyphon”

Blue light in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 450 nm can effectively inactivate pathogens (bacteria, fungi). This works by absorbing light through porphyrins, which are ubiquitous in living cells.Together with the company Purion GmbH, this approach was

Projekt “HyHabb”

The aim of the project was to develop a hand disinfection process based on optical radiation in the blue and UVB spectral range, which kills at least 99% of microorganisms in 60 s without contact and without chemicals and
