UVCt
UVCt is a term that refers to a specific type of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology. UVGI is a disinfection method that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. The 'Ct' in UVCt stands for concentration (C) and time (t). This indicates that the effectiveness of the UVGI treatment is dependent on both the intensity of the UV light applied and the duration of exposure. A higher UV intensity or a longer exposure time will result in a greater reduction in microbial load.
The 'UVC' portion of UVCt specifically refers to the wavelength of ultraviolet light used, which is typically
