Jordi Amagat to Speak on Far-UVC Technology at Interphex 2025

We are excited to announce that Dr. Jordi Amagat Molas, Segment Manager for Life Science and Pharma at UV Medico, will be speaking at Interphex 2025! His presentation, titled “Towards Continuous Cleanroom Decontamination: Implementation of Far-UVC,” will take place during the Late Breaking session on Tuesday, April 1st, from 09:15 AM to 10:00 AM. This session is set to explore an innovative scientific breakthrough in cleanroom decontamination and its potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical facilities.

As many in the pharmaceutical and life science industries know, maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of cleanroom environments is a critical yet challenging task. Despite the extensive use of specialized cleanroom suits, rigorous protocols, and air filtration systems, human-related contamination remains a significant concern. Dr. Amagat’s talk will delve into a solution to this problem - Far-UVC.

What is Far-UVC and How Does it Work?

Far-UVC refers to ultraviolet light at wavelengths ranging from 200–230 nm, which is scientifically proven to be effective in inactivating harmful microorganisms. A particularly exciting development is UV light at 222 nm, generated by krypton-chloride excimer lamps. This wavelength is so remarkable because it is non-harmful to human skin and eyes, a significant advantage over traditional UVC light, which can cause damage to biological tissues.

Far-UVC light has shown to be highly effective at decontaminating surfaces and air in cleanrooms without posing risks to human health, making it a game-changer for maintaining a sterile environment. Dr. Amagat’s presentation will cover the scientific principles behind Far-UVC and discuss its practical applications in pharmaceutical facilities—potentially transforming how these facilities manage cleanliness and decontamination in the future.
