ULTRAVIOLET DOSIMETERS/INDICATORS

UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) is a specialized radiation therapy that involves drawing a small amount of blood, treating it with medical-grade ultraviolet light (controlled ultraviolet UVA, UVB, or UVC light), and returning it to the body. UV light damages the nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) of circulating bacteria, viruses and fungi. This process stimulates the immune system, neutralizes pathogens, and improves cellular function. Also known as “the antibiotic of the future,” UVBI therapy helps the body fight chronic infections and inflammation without relying on pharmaceutical drugs.

UV indicators can also be used to monitor exposure to sunlight by sun-bathers. The following are a few examples of JP Labs UV dosimeters. The color changes are completely irreversible. The global market for UV indicators, including electronic and reversible and irreversible color changing UV Indicators is expanding rapidly, driven by growing awareness of skin health, industrial curing verification, and medical sterilization standards. According to market studies the global UV indicator card market is valued at ~$10 billion and is projected to reach $19 billion by 2033. As the shelf-life our UV dosimeters is at least a few years at room temperature and not affected by ambient humidity, they have good potentials to capture major share of irreversibly color changing and color developing UV indicators in the market.
