‘GermiKlean’: Developed by DRDO to sanitise uniforms of police and security personnel


The Defence Research and Development Organization has developed ‘GermiKlean’. GermiKlean is a sanitising chamber that can be used to sanitise uniforms of security and police personnel.

Highlights

  • The DRDO developed the sanitizing chamber after the Delhi Police raised their requirement of sanitizing their helmets, uniforms, cane shields, etc.

About GermiKlean

  • GermiKlean is capable of sanitizing 25 pairs of uniforms within 15 minutes using dry heat treatment. 
  • Dry heating of an article is accomplished by conduction. 
  • Heat is absorbed by the exterior surface of the article and passed inward. 
  • Dry heat kills micro organisms by causing denaturation of proteins. 
  • Denaturation is a process in which the nucleic acids lose the quaternary structure. 
  • This kills the micro organisms.

Other measures

  • The DRDO has also designed sanitisation tunnel. 
  • It has come up with an idea of a mat that can be used to sanitise foot.
