Vyv's Innovative 405nm LED Light Technology Published in Nature

In a novel development, Vyv's cutting-edge proprietary 405nm LED light technology has been recognized in Nature, the world's leading scientific journal. Recent research published in the rigorously peer-reviewed Nature Scientific Reports has demonstrated the efficacy of Vyv's (formerly Vital Vio) proprietary 405nm violet-blue light in inactivating a wide spectrum of bacterial microbes on food surfaces found in food processing environments without the harmful effects associated with UV light. The application of 405nm light is emerging as a powerful tool in enhancing global food safety.

The study demonstrates that Vyv's proprietary 405nm LED light can effectively neutralize microbes like E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus, reducing bacterial counts by up to 6.3 log CFU on food contact surfaces and packaging materials. This unprecedented result marks a significant step forward in microbe control for the food industry, clinical environments and many more environments with germ challenges. As cited in the publication, these microbes can pose "invasive and potentially life-threatening infections". Weekly contamination headlines additionally highlight the growing issues.

As cited in the publication, "Since 405 nm blue light has been shown not to have any long-term detrimental effect on mammalian cells, this treatment can become a useful tool for controlling microbial contamination in food processing and handling facilities without posing a risk to human health."

Vyv's 405nm light technology is a game-changer protected by 60+ patents globally and unlike traditional UV-based or chemical disinfectants, Vyv's non-UV light technology is non-toxic and residue-free, ensuring that food products remain uncompromised in quality for consumption. This breakthrough aligns perfectly with the global push for cleaner, more sustainable food processing methods.

The integration of 405nm light into food processing and packaging systems offers a non-invasive, cost- effective method to enhance antimicrobial protection. This innovation is particularly significant for fresh produce, dairy products, and ready-to-eat foods, where microbial contamination poses specific challenges due to the unique environmental conditions.
