UV Lamp : Air Purifiers
An air purifier can be a great addition to your space as it helps create clean air for you to breathe. At Target, you’ll find a wide range of air purifiers to choose from. Choosing the one that suits your space the best can be a daunting task. Here’s a quick guide that’ll make your job easy. The square footage of your room will help you choose the right air purifier for your space. The clean air delivery rate (CADR) will help you understand how effective a device is at filtering various particles in specific room sizes. Next is the type of purifier. Look for the ones that filter out pollutants and are based on home needs like removing allergens, cigarette smoke or pet dander. HEPA filters in combination with other filters like odor filters and chemical filters provide the required air quality for those who have allergies. Also, keep in mind the noise levels depending on where you’re going to use it. In addition, there are other features like programmable timer, remote control unit and other smart functions too. Whether you’re looking for an air purifier for a small space, large room or a whole house, browse through our store and find the right one for you.
Soluva UV-C light versus HEPA filters
UV-C (UVGI) light is more effective, saves costs and maintenance
SARS-CoV-2 complicates our everyday life enormously. Conventional air purifiers are no longer sufficient. Heraeus Noblelight’s air purifier uses pure UV light to disinfect 99% of the viruses and bacteria in a room. Find out why UV-C (UVGI) air purifiers from Heraeus are practically and technologically superior to HEPA filter purification devices.
Heraeus UV disinfection unit Soluva® Air W compared to HEPA purification devices
UV-C (UVGI) air purifiers are technologically and practically superior to filters
HEPA filters only collect active viruses instead of destroying them and therefore need to be replaced regularly. UV air purifiers inactivate the viruses immediately, including all SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Due to the long life of the UV lamps, maintenance is much less. UV-C air purifiers make hardly any noise and can be used during continuous operation.

Expert opinions and practical tests confirm the facts
Statement of the Indoor Air Hygiene Commission (IRK) on the use of mobile air cleaners in schools
- In the case of techniques which develop their effect by inactivating the pathogens, these tests require trials with real pathogens (bacteria, viruses) under the planned operating conditions and not just basic proof of the effect under laboratory conditions.
- Prior to procurement, it is recommended to obtain corresponding test certificates of the devices under real conditions from the manufacturers.
Initiated by the Munich University of Applied Sciences
- Device is much too loud
- Because of the loud noise, can utilize only about one third of the device power
- Maximum 50% of the particles filtered
- Effective operation not possible without additional ventilation
- School principal Heike Frenzel: "It makes no sense to place these devices all over the place".
