Xenex LightStrike robot is ultraviolet room disinfection technology proven to deactivate SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. LightStrike technology is used in healthcare facilities to destroy microscopic pathogens often found on high-touch surfaces that cause infections.
LightStrike robot incorporates cutting-edge technology through bursts of intense UV light to destroy hard-to-kill viruses and bacteria found in common places and hard-to-clean spaces. San Antonio International Airport is the first airport to deploy LightStrike robot technology from Xenex – a renowned world-leader in infection prevention and disinfection technology. In testing performed at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute – working exclusively on infectious disease – LightStrike robot destroyed SARS-CoV-2 in two minutes. SAT is now bringing this same level of disinfection to the commercial airport industry. Dr. Mark Stibich, Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Xenex remarked, planning for the disinfection of public spaces – especially commercial airports – is a major priority to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
