The basics
How it works
Quite simply UVkind’s 222nm Far UV-C light works by destroying the molecular bonds that hold viruses’ DNA together. An easy analogy is to imaging high energy photon bullets that chop up the DNA when they pass through it. UVkinds UV-C 222nm short-wavelengthlight kills or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA as they pass through, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. Since the UV-C light causes a physical disruption to the DNA as opposed to a chemical disinfectant there is no ability to build up a resistance to the UV-C treatment.
While the sun gives off UV-C almost all UV-C radiation is absorbed by the Ozone layer.

The Science
UV-C germicidal light
UV-C lamps work on a physical level. Microorganisms like bacteria and viruses are rendered inactive by UV-C lights because of the way the light damages the nucleic acids of the cells. UV-C light has short wavelengths and high energy, which microorganism RNA and DNA absorb and by which they are destroyed, left unable to infect.
The majority of UV disinfection that is currently in use leverages UV-C light, which, while effective, can present some dangers. For instance, UV-C light can penetrate the skin and cause harm to humans that are present during disinfection. In addition, UV-C light causes the rapid aging of materials like plastic and rubber, making it a risk to use in some environments where sensitive and expensive equipment may be subject to these effects.
How UVKind is different
UVKind™ 222nm light therapy is different from UV-C disinfection options because it utilizes a different wavelength of the UV light spectrum. Far-UV light has a shorter wavelength and higher photon energy than UV-C, making its effect on microorganisms different from UV disinfection lamps that are most commonly used. Far-UV light is able to cause physical destruction of viral, bacterial, and fungal cells in a matter of seconds, much faster than UV-C lamps.
Further, Far-UV light is safe for use when people are present, which is not true of UV-C lamps. UVkind™ uses a wavelength of light that, according to the best available research, cannot penetrate the skin, protecting human cells when Far-UV-C UVKind™ is in use.
