Experimental Investigation Of Pulse Sterilization Of Pathogens

The results of experimental investigations of the effect of high-intensity pulsed UV radiation on reference strains of opportunistic pathogens S, aureus and E. coli are presented. The modified pulse UV sterilizer M[Pcy][Kcy]-300-3 based on an end-face plasma accelerator was used as a radiation source, which provides a power pulsed discharge in an open atmosphere. The high efficiency of inactivation of the pathogens was provided within a short period of time. The possibility of providing urgent 100% sterilization of a pathogens has been shown. The prospects for the application of pulse sterilization technology to combat pathogens are considered.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PULSE STERILIZATION OF VIRAL INFECTION

The results of experimental investigations of the effect of high-intensity pulsed UV radiation on the influenza virus type A (H1N1) are presented. The research methodology is developed and the structure of the experiments is described. An end-face plasma accelerator was used as a radiation source, which provides a power pulsed discharge in an open atmosphere. The high efficiency of inactivation of the infectiousness of the virus was shown within a short period of time. The possibility of providing urgent 100% sterilization of a viral infection has been shown for the first time. A model for calculating the efficiency of pulse sterilization has been developed. The prospects for the application of pulse sterilization technology to combat coronavirus infection are considered.
