No no no, please no. Stop with the UV lights. Everything that needs to be sterile goes through the PC. UV light damages skin, retinas, almost all plastic and rubber. In addition, it will not work anywhere there is a shadow, so any stuff in your closet or dirt or really anything that will block the light renders this whole thing useless. You are drastically raising your risk level for absolutely no benefit.

Also stop dousing yourself with iso. Not necessary.

Lab equipment companies still sell UV in their hoods as a way to make money. Most labs I worked in stopped using UV years ago because of the dangers of UV coupled with the ineffectiveness in actual use conditions.

There is a difference between sterilization and disinfection of a surface! They are not interchangeable.

Sterilization of equipment (where appropriate and possible) is good, sterilization in combination with a disinfected/decontmainated surface is better.

I never claimed UV can replace sterilization, but it helps create a cleaner work environment.




Yes you are correct. Sterilization and disinfection are different. They are not interchangeable. My response was not directed at your comment except for the last regarding UV in hoods.

UV does not work for our purposes and poses a very real risk that many discount. Just because it looks cool in a lab catalog does not mean we should be putting these things in our closet.
