Hygiene is of great importance when propagating plant material in vitro. For example, for the air, but the pre-formed cultivation trays or pots must also be as clean as possible.
In situations where raw materials or tools have to enter a high-care environment, a disinfection step is desired and sometimes required.
Water and other liquids can be disinfected with UVC light. To choose a UVC system with the right capacity (lamp power), it is important to know the transmission value of the water or of the liquid.
UVC disinfection is a good and proven solution to improve air hygiene. The effectiveness of UVC light itself has been scientifically proven in many situations. The challenge is to use these laboratory results for a system that works in practice.
Proofers are susceptible to mould growth due to the wet environment and temperatures. Preventing excessive mould growth can take a lot of time and effort. We use two disinfection technologies to prevent mould in air handling units for proofers in industrial bakeries.
Cleaning the air is a hot topic as a result of potential air-borne spreading of viruses. Ionisation is one of the options to clean the air from harmful pathogens including viruses.
