What Are the Best Resources to Learn About UV Sanitization?

AI Thread Summary
For understanding UV sanitization, several resources are recommended, including materials from bulb suppliers like GE, which provide valuable information on UV rays and their properties. The discussion emphasizes the need for practical knowledge rather than complex mathematical models, focusing on specifications for UV bulbs and their efficacy. Users suggest exploring manufacturer guidelines and product datasheets to gain insights into UV intensity and application. Additionally, industry publications and online courses may offer foundational knowledge about UV sanitization techniques. Overall, leveraging supplier resources and industry literature can effectively support product development in UV sanitization.

I am a new product development engineer and am working on figuring out a UV sanitization product.

Do you know of a good resource to understand UV rays, its properties, using UV, etc.?

I am not looking for detailed math models and analysis, but rather, a resource that will help me understand enough to spec out the kind of UV bulb needed, the intensity needed and to be able to understand/ predict its efficacy.

Thank you in advance.

Our tissue culture hoods all have UV germicidal bulbs in them- have a look at what the bulb supplier says (GE, most likely)
 
thank you very much! there is a lot of info available through GE.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
