2021: Development of a disinfection and sterilization plant for materials and products of various purposes

The NIIDAR research and production complex, which is part of the Radio Engineering and Information Systems (CRTIS) concern, is working on the creation of a disinfection and sterilization unit. The plant is designed for safe low-temperature processing of products of various types and materials. The use of the plant is supposed to be in medicine, pharmaceuticals, as well as in zones with an unfavorable epidemiological situation, the NIIDAR NPK reported on May 18, 2021.

It is expected that the plant under development will eliminate various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and spore forms that can cause epidemics. In the operation of the plant, a safe method of combined exposure of electromagnetic radiation and a special solution to pathogens is used, and the sterilization process itself is carried out at temperatures not higher than 60 ° C.

This installation will allow for a short time to simultaneously sterilize objects of various shapes and materials, including those made of metal, rubber, fabric, glass, etc., told NPK NIIDAR.

"The installation being developed in many respects exceeds foreign analogues, including at a price - as of May 2021, the cost of a serial sample according to our estimates should not exceed 600 thousand rubles," said KRTIS Director General Yuri Anoshko. "The installation may be in demand in all medical institutions, military units and rescue services, where non-toxic in-line disinfection of materials and products of various purposes is required."

It is planned to create an installation in several trim levels, which will allow it to be used in hospitals and when deployed in emergency zones associated with a high probability of epidemic outbreaks.
