General information

Short Summary
A Hungarian technology transfer agency offers its technology The Germinator series and the Germinator 1 device. They are the first surface disinfection smart devices using Ultraviolet-C light that have built-in sensors for UVC control and analytics that give the clients assurance in the process. The agency is looking for potential license partners or investors and R&D partners.
Full Description
This mobile multifunctional device has been designed based on years of research about the UVC light, its characteristics, and the benefits of its high disinfection effect. The difference between the Germinator 1 and the other devices is that other devices are using empirical references of time (of UVC dose emitted) for certain disinfection without confirmation and live measurement of all the factors that are influencing the efficiency of the process and the iteration effect on the lamps, thus its reliability as well. This is one of the reasons UVC light disinfection is always only used as complementary, and not a substitutionary procedure. The SARS COV 2 pandemic and its rapid spread have reminded the world of the need for better protection for a safer future. This is why the G1 with the assurance it brings and much more with its multifunctionality is the perfect weapon against the spread of diseases in hospitals, day care centres, kindergartens, educational and military campuses, hotels, etc.

The Germinator 1 is designed with 8 x 40W UVC Mercury lamps with powerful UVC Output of 120W. This gives the G1 extensive power that can offer extra fast surface disinfection to the clients. In the surface mode (ex. mattress) it can give a LOG 5 disinfection in less than 10 seconds per position. This also allows the G1 to be super effective in the other modes as well as in less than a minute in the G1 chamber, n95 masks are disinfected for reuse by the standards of the WHO.
But what sets the G1 apart from the competition is the control software that is monitoring the UVC dosage and environmental conditions and thus reset the time accordingly to give reliable and proven effect. This is made with the help of the built in custom UVC sensor, IR thermal cameras, and cooling fans that regulate the perfect temperature of the UV bulbs.
This will give their customers not only the assurance every disinfection process asks for, but also the option to choose which level LOG disinfection they need and more importantly to choose which bacteria, virus or other microorganism are they after.
Another big incentive for the users is the multifunctionality the G1 accessories are enabling, and as it is stands now, this is a first multifunctional device for surface items and room disinfection on the market.
The company had 3 independent testing, one for safety in operations and 2 with the Physics University for the efficiency in use of the Device.
In essence, the company is searching for dynamic and results-driven partners who can help expand the reach of their ultraviolet-C surface disinfectant technology, contributing to the broader mission of creating safer and healthier environments. They are trying to achieve possible cooperation by license as well as looking for R&D cooperation.
