Research on measuring the capacity of a UV-disinfectant machine by disinfecting masks used by Covid-19 infected patients

Abstract

The present study aims to measure an ultraviolet type C compartment’s disinfection capacity of mask used by covid-19 patients through biochemical testing. The sample was taken from covid-19 positive patients and stored in TSB contain VTM. After conducting proper calculation, the sample was diluted and prepared freshly for biochemical testing. All the reagents were measured and autoclaved accordingly and plating was done under biosafety cabinet and kept in 24 hours incubation. After one day incubation we compare the plates of before and after UVC-espoused samples microorganism’s growth. The results obtained from the biochemical study suggest that the ultraviolet type C chamber could be a promising approach for developing a proper disinfection machine with a broad spectrum of usage.
