UV Sanitizing: The Importance of 100% Device Coverage

The Power of Coverage

Now that we understand the critical difference between killing 99% of germs and 99.999% of germs, there’s another key area to discuss when it comes to products that effectively eliminate germs - coverage. 

Coverage, as it sounds, refers to how much of the devices is actually cleaned when put in the UV compartment. Think about it like this - is a product effective if it only kills 99.999% of germs on less than half of the device? 

I think most would say that sort of defeats the purpose. This is why we designed UV Station with maximum coverage to disinfect the entire device. This is done through 3 key components: 

1. 6 Bulbs. 3 on top. 4 on bottom. To ensure a sufficient intensity of light is able to reach every side of the device. 

2. Reflective Coating. The entire inside of the compartment has a reflective coating that redistributes light to every part of the device. 

3. Translucent Quartz plate. The final ingredient to complete coverage ensures the bottom of the device gets equal exposure. Your phone (or other device) rests on a transparent quartz plate; suspending it above the bottom lights, allowing ample UV light to reach the bottom side. This eliminates the need to flip the device to get both sides. 

Together, these 3 crucial elements ensure that everything placed in UV Station is fully sanitized, every-time. Because if it’s not, then what’s the point of all of this?
