The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has developed an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection tower named UV Blaster that provides for a rapid and chemical-free disinfection of surfaces prone to infection.
The equipment can be used for disinfecting high-tech and sensitive surfaces like electronic equipment, computers, gadgets and other surfaces on which chemical disinfectants can’t be used.
The disinfection tower can also be used in areas where flow of people is high, for example at airports, malls, IT companies and other work spaces, factories, hotels, etc.
Designed and developed by Laser Science and Technology Centre, Delhi the instrument can disinfect a room of 12 ft x 12 ft in a span of 10 minutes.
