About klaran™ UVC LEDs
Made using the Asahi Kasei Group’s leading single-crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) substrates and thin-film crystal growth technologies, Klaran™ achieves the highest output in the 260–270 nm wavelength range, which is most effective for inactivation of bacteria and viruses. In October 2020, joint research by CIS and the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories of Boston University confirmed that Klaran™ UVC LEDs can effectively inactivate SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
