Ultraviolet Light Sterilizer

[psilly]

Has anybody ever heard of this device before? There's one for cheap on eBay, item # 3838237197. Not really interested myself, just curious to know if I'm missing out on something here. Thanks!

Ultraviolet light kills indeed bacteria in the air. Ultraviolet lights are sometimes used within a laminar flow cabinet. Using this light alone will not be sufficent enough probably.

Thanks for the speedy response! I was curious about the benefit of a sterilizing source that doesn't use heat... seems it would be a huge convenience if you could go straight from sterilization to inoculation, without an intervening cool-down period...

Also found a -relatively- inexpensive glove box on eBay, for anybody who's interested...
