We’ve had very good results using this in our manufacturing facility for molds and bacterial, but it is equally effective for viruses. When deciding on a UV box versus wand you should compare through put as a minimum exposure time is required. The wand has obvious advantages as it is portable and can be done on an individual work station while the boxes can be multi directional so that you don’t have to turn over items to insure that all surfaces are exposed to sufficient UV radiation.
