About
From the manufacturer: “Novascan UV Ozone Cleaners have proven to be highly effective for non-acidic, dry, non-destructive atomic cleaning and removal of organic contaminants using intense 185 nm and 254 nm ultraviolet light. In the presence of oxygen, the 185 line produces Ozone and while the 254 line excites organic molecules on the surface. This combination drives the rapid destruction and decimation of organic contaminants.”
Detailed Specifications
Platform volume - about 9“ x 9” x 4“

Safety Concerns
Ultraviolet Light Hazard - Due to a device interlock, the UV bulb is only on when the chamber is closed. Pinching Hazard - Careful when closing the lid to avoid pinching fingers
Operating Procedures
1) Open the chamber lid.
2) Adjust the sample platform and place your sample. Ensure that your sample has ample clearance above, to avoid crushing the expensive UV bulb. (Use the nearby ruler with tape indicator).
3) Set the timer to begin exposure.
4) Exposure is complete when time ends. Open the lid, remove your sample, then close the lid.
