Microwave disinfection protocol optimised for the destruction/ inactivation of sars-cov-2 and h1n1 viruses

Abstract

The invention concerns a microwave disinfection device (2) configured to destroy/inactivate the SARS-COV-2 and H1N1 viruses and comprising a microwave irradiation section (22) configured to: irradiate microwave signals that have an incident electric field amplitude not higher than 6 V/m and frequencies that are included in the 8-10 GHz band and are spaced from each other by a step comprised between 10 MHZ and 100 MHz; irradiate the microwave signals at each individual frequency for a time interval comprised between 50 ms and 1 s; and irradiate the microwave signals with duty cycles comprised between 5% and 50%.
