Independent Lab Testing

The Bio-Fighter® Triad has undergone independent lab analysis to show the effectiveness of UV-C light in controlling microorganisms. Serratia marcescens was used as the test bacteria in testing. Serratia marcescens is commonly used in laboratory testing and produces a red pigment that is easily visible on a petri dish.

Results
The lab testing performed by Universal Air Technologies tested the Bio-Fighter® Triad models 1S20 and 2S20 ability to control airborne bacteria. Serratia marcescens was introduced into the airstream of a 2.75 sq. ft. duct with airflow through duct of 300 FPM and 825 CFM. Ten test samples were taken with UV-C on and ten samples taken with UV-C off. 

The Triad 1S20 test results show that with UV-C OFF, an amount of 220.5 Serratia marcescens survived to the sampling plate. With the Triad 1S20 UV-C turned ON, only 9.5 Serratia marcescens survived to the sample plate, a reduction of 95.692%.

The Triad 2S20 test results show that with UV-C OFF, an amount of 273.5 Serratia marcescens survived to the sampling plate. With the Triad 2S20 UV-C turned ON, only 2.6 Serratia marcescens survived to the sample plate, a reduction of 99.049%.
