The Germix UV-C steriliser single HQ by ACTIVESHOP offers dry disinfection of hairdressing and beauty salon tools using ultraviolet light to inactivate living microorganisms.
This steriliser disinfects cosmetic instruments without chemical solutions or high temperatures. It uses ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254 nm to irradiate tool surfaces, destroying living microorganisms. The device automatically switches off the UV lamp when the drawer is opened, ensuring safe use for practitioners and clients.
The device disinfects scissors, combs, brushes, nippers, tweezers, and razor blades. Instruments should be washed, dried, and disassembled if complex to allow UV rays to reach all surfaces. Sterilisation takes between 30 and 45 minutes, providing adequate exposure to UV light for disinfection.
UV-C disinfection employs ultraviolet light of 254 nm wavelength to disrupt the nucleic acids of microorganisms, killing or inactivating them. It mainly affects living microorganisms but does not eliminate spores and is an auxiliary method that does not replace autoclave sterilisation.
