According to the International Ultraviolet Association  “Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is on the short- wavelength side of the electromagnetic spectrum, occupying the range from 100 to 400 nm. The UV range is further subdivided into four categories: UV-A (315 nm to 400 nm), UV-B (280 nm – 315 nm), UV-C (200 nm – 280 nm), and vacuum UV (100 – 200 nm); vacuum UV wavelengths are so-named because of their strong absorption, even by air.
UV light is commonly used for disinfection. It inactivates microorganisms (including viruses) by degrading their genetic material and structural molecules so that they are no longer infectious. UV light is commonly used for disinfecting water, air, and surfaces; however, the wavelengths that are most effective at inactivating microbes are also considered damaging to human skin and eyes.”

High-energy, short-wave radiation in the wavelength range from 200 to 300 nm is referred to as UVC light. UVC radiation renders viruses harmless by destroying their nucleic acids.
According to the International Ultraviolet Association:  "The portion of the UV spectrum (the ‘germicidal’ region) that is important for the disinfection of water and air is the range that is absorbed by DNA (RNA in some viruses). This germicidal range is approximately 200-300nm."  
It has been scientifically proven, that wavelengths between 280nm and 300nm can be used for disinfection and sterilisation.

When the air enters the neocube and passes through the H13 HEPA filter, bacteria and other harmful particles are filtered out. The much smaller viruses and aerosols are rendered harmless when exposed to UVC light in the specially designed safe chamber. Now the clean, disinfected air leaves the cube. We use state-of-the-art max. 280nm pure UVC LEDs in the neocube, which are ultra-safe, durable, certified (CE) and RoHS compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU.

Your safety matters to us!

UVC wavelengths, same as in visible light, travel in a straight line and decrease significantly in intensity, inversely proportional to the origin, with increasing distance.  

The neocube is designed so that the UVC-LEDs are separated from the human body and eye within a chamber. This allows the air to pass by it and be disinfected, but prevents any possibility of harmful rays to reach outside the neocube. In case the neocube breaks or you open it to exchange the filter, the power supply and UVC LEDs are automatically turned off.

The neocube has been tested by Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, Hermann-Rietschel-Institut für Energietechnik and Luftfiltertechnik, led by Prof. Dr. Martin Kriegel. All testings are documented in a supervised bachelor thesis at Technische Universität Berlin, an elite university with a high reputation globally.

neocube is "Made in Germany", fulfilling the highest quality standards. We carefully chose neocube's materials, e.g. the air filter, UVC-LEDs, battery and fan, paying attention to the suppliers' quality standards, sustainability and certifications. We took a deep look into each product and only picked those with the highest quality standards.

The air filter is a high-class HEPA filter, class 13, filtering 99.97% of particles. It is CE certified with DIN EN 1822-1 / DIN EN ISO 29463-1. Our supplier has been assessed and registered, meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

We use state-of-the-art with max. 280nm pure UVC LEDs in the neocube, which are ultra-safe, durable, and certified. They are CE certified and RoHS compliant with European Union’s Directive 2011/65/EU.

The RoHS (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances) Directive 2011/65/EU is a European Directive and falls within the scope of CE Marking. It lays down the rules and restrictions of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)
Directive EU2011/65/EU (direct links).

neocube is patent-pending.
