GERMIX is equipped with an internal ultraviolet lamp which quickly destroys all micro-organisms. It’s ideal for maintaining the sterility of the tools used by hairdressers and beauticians. The sterilized tools can be kept ready-to-use for long periods (treatment with UV light does not generate heat). Thorough disinfection of tools A single Germix sterilizer is a safe way to safely and effectively disinfect without the use of chemical solutions or high temperatures. The operation of the device is based on the germicidal effect of UV light - ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 254 nm, falling directly on the surface, effectively destroys the living forms of microorganisms. The device with a simple design automatically shuts off the UV lamp when the drawer is opened - it guarantees the safety of both specialists performing treatments and customers. For which tools will the UV-C sterilizer work? The device will find use in any hairdressing or beauty salon . It allows efficient dry disinfection , during which the equipment is not exposed to mechanical damage or dulling. It will perfectly clean the surfaces of utensils such as scissors, combs, brushes, pliers, tweezers or razor blades. To properly prepare tools for sterilization, they should be washed and dried, and those with a more complex structure - disassembled. Disinfection is effective when the rays fall directly on the item. The full process takes 30 to 45 minutes . What is disinfection by UV rays? This is a disinfection method that uses the far ultraviolet (wavelengths of 100-280 nm, especially 254 nm or UV-C) - to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acid and breaking the DNA chain. Note that this is an auxiliary method and is not a substitute for sterilization using an autoclave - it works mainly on living micro organisms, does not include spores in its effect.
