CHANDIGARH: The Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) has developed two new technologies to slow down the spread of coronavirus through contaminated objects.
The first product is a ‘contactless automated hand sanitiser dispenser’, manufactured by a Gurugrambased firm, Sukriti Lifesciences Private Limited, while the other is an ‘ultraviolet-c based disinfection system’ that will be produced by DICCI Sahayog Enterprises Private Limited, Pune. Dr Paromita Guha, Kailash Chand and G.D. Bansal claim that the contactless sanitiser dispenser is different from the existing products as it is resistant to fire.
The ultraviolet system has been developed by Kota Srinivas and Dr Robert Sam. It has the capability to produce accurate intensity of UV for effectiveness. It has four different models depending on the size of the objects to be disinfected.
