CSIO transfers technology for two products

Chandigarh, July 23

The Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) here has developed two technologies to help mitigate the spread of Covid-19 infection through contaminated objects. These were transferred to the industry today for commercial manufacture and marketing.

The first product is a ‘contactless automated hand sanitiser dispenser’, which will be manufactured by a Gurugram-based firm, Sukriti Lifesciences Private Limited, while the other is an ‘ultraviolet-c based disinfection system’ that will be made by DICCI Sahayog Enterprises Private Limited, Pune.

The contactless sanitiser dispenser developed by Dr Paromita Guha, Kailash Chand and GD Bansal is claimed to be different from existing products as it is fireproof. The ultraviolet system developed by Kota Srinivas and Dr Robert Sam has the capability to produce accurate intensity of UV for effectiveness. It has four different models depending on the size of the objects to be disinfected. — TNS
