As UV only kill the Microorganism.Microbiological media contain the agar & for agar dissolve at 90 degree temperature that's why we cannot use UV to sterlize microbiological media

How often should the UV lamp be changed?

The UV light is designed to operate for (1) year under continuous operation. The lamp will slowly lose energy during this period, therefore the lamp should be changed annually to guarantee the amount of UV energy available is sufficient enough to kill micro-organisms. But for XPES induction UV lamp, it will have a long period to keep the UV energy.


Does a fluorescent bulb specificaly phosphorus reflects ultraviolet radiation.?

There is no phosphorus in a fluorescent lamp, the coating is a compound called phosphor.phosphorus is an element that burns.phosphor is a compound that when excited by an electron beam, UV light, or x-rays glows in visible light.A fluorescent lamp is a mercury vapor UV (aka black light) lamp with a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp tube to turn the invisible UV light to visible light.


For what purposes are UV lamps designed for?

Some of the purposes that UV lamps are designed for are to attract bugs and other insects. There may be a electric system rigged to the lamp to kill the insects as they hit the lamp. Other uses include black lights, which illuminates certain materials. UV light is invisible to the human eye, but makes other materials florescent.


What are some safety concerns when using a halogen floor lamp?

Fire, burns, and UV exposure are all high safety concerns with the Halogen Floor lamp because the glass used on the lamp heats up faster than the average florescent lamp.


What is the working temperature of mercury lamp?

The peaks of the emission from the ionized vaporof mercury are:-- 184.5 nm . . . UV-C-- 253.7 nm . . . UV-C-- 365.4 nm . . . UV-A-- 404.7 nm . . . violet-- 435.8 nm . . . blue-- 546.1 nm . . . green-- 578.2 nm . . . yellow-orange.The quantum wavelength of the lamp itself is much shorter than any of those.

Does a 4 watt uv gel lamp actually work for gel nails and how long would it take to use?

I don't think it would; the UV lamps they make for nail techs to use are 36 watts, and you can buy one of those online for less than $60.


How long do you keep on a UV lamp?

That would depend on what type of turtle or reptile you are referring to. All animals do need a break from the UV's at some point.

What is different from Induction UV lamps and Traditional UV mercury lamp?

1. Traditional UV mercury lamp have a limited lifespan, while induction UV lamp have long lifespan. The induction UV lamp is 10 times more than traditional mercury lamp, and the lifespan is not influence switching times. 2. The consumption of traditional UV mercury lamp is large, but the UV output of energy generating just only about 20%, so the efficiently UV is not high. 3. Induction UV lamp have highly concentrated UV spectral, so it can shorten the curing time and promote the efficiency. 4. There are some hidden UV mercury contamination, for example, due to a high pressure, high temperature and intense radiation of a mercury lamp, it is easy to make the oxygen molecules surrounding to chemical reaction and then producing ozone, and ozone not only have a bad effect on the atmosphere, but also have a bad on health. 5. Induction UV lamp is cold light so it have no heat radiation. The temperature of illuminated surface is low so the work piece is not deformed by heat. 6. The induction UV lamp can be switched on and restarted at once, and will not suffer the decline. What is more, it is no need to warm-up to achieve the maximum UV output power. 7. Induction UV lamp have a stable light output, good illumination uniformity, which can improve production efficiency. 8. The ballast of the induction UV lamp works on IC chips and wide-voltage design, providing high power factor, low current harmonic and adjustable light. 9. Induction UV lamp can save more than 80% energy, and also have low luminous decay, which is an environment friendly lighting source.


What types of contaminants does a UV air purifier help to remove from the air?

UV lights or cleaners use UV radiation from UV lamps and eliminate pollutants such as molds, bacteria, and viruses that are in the air or are growing on surfaces within the house. The stronger the lamp, the stronger the effectiveness.
