CHICAGO, Dec. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Quanta X
Technology, the parent company of QuantaDose, CEO Katie Webb suggests, "Anyone in Santa's shoes
gifting a UVC device to a friend or family member needs to make
sure the UV-C device is real, and they also need to understand the
potential dangers when using a UVC device for disinfecting objects
and surfaces. Real UV-C lights aren't toys made by Santa's elves as
UVC light can damage your eyes in seconds and burn your skin."
"In fact, UV-C light is a well-known carcinogen, and some UV
light devices will produce ozone as a result of 184nm light from
the mercury spectrum line escaping a quartz glass tube. Ozone
producing UV lights require even more safety precautions that are
worth checking twice — to see if your UV products being gifted this
holiday season are naughty or nice," said Webb.
According to QuantaDose, "confusion has found the most fertile
of breeding grounds as consumers attempt to weigh virus prevention
advice coming at them from all directions during the COVID-19
pandemic."
The 1961 novel Catch 22, by author Joseph Heller, may have said it best: "In
confusion there is profit." 2020 has been like no year in modern
history as shoppers put their blind faith into the claims of
untested personal protection devices sold online that can make the
difference between life or death in an outbreak.
In this confusion, profits have soared for online retailers like
Amazon that offer an almost unlimited selection of sanitizing
products. Many devices sold by third-party sellers on these
marketplaces make unverified claims regarding UV disinfecting power
wavelengths used in these devices for virus protection. As it turns
out, there is no shortage of fake UV disinfection products on the
market.
The QuantaDose UVC light test card aims to reduce consumer
confusion when choosing a real UV-C light solution capable of
meeting their cleaning needs. World-class phone support is even
available from a toll-free number on the back of the QuantaDose
UV-C test card (1-800-713-9004) to help consumers spot fake UVC
LEDs and Lamps.
"UV light is a valuable tool providing the UV wavelength, UV
power, and UV duration are suitable for the application," notes
John Coates, CTO and senior research
scientist at Quanta X Technology.
"The reality is that with something like a handheld UVC light
wand, it's the distance, it's the intensity of the UV light, it's
the wavelength of UV-C light, and the duration of UV irradiance.
That's not all, said Coates," It's the surface that you're waving
this UV wand over. Is it marble? Is it glass? Is it wood? Is it
your mail or a face mask? This all matters… and how often is a UV
light wand tested to make sure it isn't a fake UV-C light?
Consumers should always confirm the UV light manufacturers UV-C
wavelength and UV-C power claims", said Coates, the American
inventor behind the reusable QuantaDose UVC light test card.
When you purchase a QuantaDose UVC test card, you have access to
highly trained professionals in the USA at 1 800 713-9004 that can help you
through whatever UV light testing or UVC setup questions you have.
QuantaDose doesn't have a vested interest in the UV lights you use,
only that you have real UV lights and enough power to do the job in
the time you require to stay safe.
There are hundreds of different style UVC lights on the market.
QuantaDose will walk you through the process of validating any of
them with a live real person. Many of the support calls are
answered by the QuantaDose card's inventor, so no questions are too
big or too small.
Webb emphasizes, "The only bad question about testing UVC
lighting is the one that isn't asked to ensure consumers are not
using fake UVC lighting to protect themselves and loved ones."
"QuantaDose is here to help take any confusion out of the
equation when it comes to verifying that UVC lights are real and
effective virus precautions. We're here to take the mystery and
confusion out of the UVC disinfection process," said Coates.

About QuantaDose
Designed and Engineered in the USA, QuantaDose uses molecular fluorescence
and the quantum confinement effect for photochromatic WPV (Word
Power Visibility) technology to provide reliable UVC intensity
readings in 15 seconds with instant notification of optimal UVC
germicidal wavelengths. The QuantaDose UVC intensity test card
relies on calibrated word legibility starting > 300 µW/cm² when
the word " ULTRAVIOLET" first becomes legible during exposure to
optimal UVC germicidal wavelengths.
QuantaDose UVC test cards are a basic, reliable, low cost,
simple, in-house, and right out of your pocket method of monitoring
UVC intensity along with verifying that the optimal UVC light
wavelengths are being used in your disinfection process without
spending hundreds of dollars on fragile UV and UVC light
meters.
When exposed to optimal UVC germicidal wavelengths, the
QuantaDose UVC test card undergoes an instant color change to glow
green, where fluorescence is directly related to the energy value
of the UV wavelength received. Fluorescence stops instantly when
excited electrons release all photons within nanoseconds after
exposure.
QuantaDose has created this specially formulated ink chemistry
sensitive to only optimal UV-C, which will not fluoresce to visible
light or UVA and UVB. The QuantaDose test confirms that only
wavelengths between 222nn-280nm are shown in glowing green letters
UV-C. QuantaDose gives you instant verification of UV-C wavelengths
to avoid an increasing number of fake UVC light products on the
market today.
