nUVo™ by Energy Focus UVC air disinfectors are designed to destroy 99.9%+ of airborne pathogens such as molds, bacteria, and viruses, including coronavirus and its variants, with one pass over their UVC lamps, by applying the proven disinfecting power of UVC-254nm light to break the DNA and RNA strands of pathogens. The nUVo air disinfectors also incorporate patent-pending UVC blockers to safely enclose the powerful UVC lamps while maximizing airflow.
More and more scientific studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 viruses transmit largely through aerosols. nUVo™ is designed to create personal and portable comfort zones and make life safer for people and those around them by intercepting and destroying airborne pathogens in real time. Both nUVo TRAVELER and TOWER have been independently validated by Intertek Microbiological Tests for reducing between 94.1-99.9% of various pathogens within half an hour in realistically sized spaces – 100 cubic feet and 1,000 cubic feet, respectively.
Through effective and constant air disinfection, nUVo™ TRAVELER and nUVo™ TOWER promote health, safety, comfort, productivity, and peace-of-mind in personal and public spaces of all kinds, such as cars, homes, and offices. nUVo™ disinfectors are also filter-free and chemical-free. So unlike typical air purifiers, nUVo™ disinfectors eliminate costly and time-consuming filter replacements and do not leave potentially harmful and pungent chemical residues. The safely enclosed, replaceable UVC lamps will last approximately 3 years if used 8 hours per day.
nUVo™ TRAVELER Virus-Targeted Personal UVC Air Disinfector is completely portable wherever you go, runs on a 4-hour rechargeable battery and is designed for powerful air disinfection in cars and for personal spaces up to 100 square feet.
nUVo™ TOWER, Virus-Targeted Portable UVC Air Disinfector is designed for powerful air disinfection in larger spaces up to 500 square feet.
Free shipping of nUVo™ TRAVELER and nUVo™ TOWER is available within the contiguous United States and interest-free Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) payment plans through Klarna are available for qualified buyers when purchased directly at nUVo.us.
“As people and countries worldwide continue to battle SARS-CoV-2 and its unpredictable mutations and constantly evolving variants, we believe our patent-pending nUVo™ TRAVELER and nUVo™ TOWER provide uniquely powerful, filter-free and chemical-free air disinfection solutions to help create safer spaces—whether at home, in the office or as they travel,” said James Tu, Chairman and CEO of Energy Focus. “Energy Focus has a long history of proven quality, reliability and success in providing healthy lighting for mission critical facilities such as the US Navy, National Institutes of Health and many other leading healthcare, government and educational institutions, and we are honored and excited to leverage our technology and innovation to bring consumers as well as public and private organizations these groundbreaking and timely biosecurity products to make life safer, freer and more enjoyable as the world strives towards the new normal.”
