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.
