Toyoda Gosei to Launch SARS-CoV-2 Diminishing Deep UV LEDs in Water Purification System

Toyoda Gosei has conducted a viral inactivation experiment in which the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was irradiated using its deep UV LED technology.

The experiment was conducted jointly with the Biomedical Science Association, a certified NPO, and showed these deep UV LEDs can achieve a 99.999% disinfection rate within 5 seconds irradiation.

This deep UV LED will be used in water purification units for water recirculating WOSH portable washstands, which will be released by WOTA in November 2020.
