GoCharge Inc., a provider of mobile charging stations, has introduced UV-C sanitizing and charging stations to combat COVID-19 and other infectious diseases on glass and other surfaces, according to a press release.

The company has launched its UV-C Orion, a kiosk with eight individual and secure lockers, each of which will simultaneously sanitize and recharge batteries on cellphones, iPads and tablets. The UV-C sanitizing process utilizes UV-C light rays which have been proven to kill 99% of germs and bacteria in approximately five minutes without posing any risk of skin or eye damage, according to the release. As an added safety precaution, the UV-C lights in the goCharge kiosks will only go on once the locker door is closed.

The UV-C Orions can be wall mounted, placed on a table or be free-standing on pedestals, and are powered by a standard 110-volt wall outlet. A digital monitor can also be attached, which features remote content management capabilities for third party advertising and/or internal messaging.

The company also announced two more UV-C based products:

• UV-C sanitizing modules for charging stations that can be placed in any existing mobile device charging station locker. The module will perform in the exact same manner as that of the UV-C Orion.
• UV-C sanitizing modules for lockers, self-powered with 18650 long-lasting Lithium Ion batteries, that can be placed in any locker (hospitals, schools, gyms and fitness studios, factories, theme parks, etc.) to sanitize phones and any objects placed in the locker.
