Monos CleanPod UVC Sterilizer

May 23, 2020

Want to kill germs without using liquid cleaning products?

The Monos CleanPod uses UVC LED technology, blasting bacteria and other pathogens with very short wavelength, high-energy UVC light to sterilize surfaces, effectively sanitizing surfaces without the use of chemicals.

In 30 seconds, the light from the CleanPod can kill up to 99.9 percent of germs.

The CleanPod emits wavelengths between 200 and 300 nm, frequencies that are considered germicidal, as which are strongly absorbed by nucleic acids, scrambling them, rendering them inert.

The CleanPod contains no mercury, powers on immediately without any warm-up time, and features a safety lock and 3-minute auto shut-off, preventing accidental usage.
