Product Details
Glo Germ Powder
Glo Germ fluorescent powder is an educational tool developed to demonstrate how bacteria and viruses can spread through contact and how lack of hand hygiene can contribute as a significant factor to the spread.
Description
The powder is ‘invisible’ under ordinary light, but lights up under UV lighting, making it possible to visualize “contamination” on hands and surfaces.
The product is supplied in a 113 g. container, which is sufficient for approximately 150-200 demonstrations, as only a small amount is needed per use. It is necessary to use a UV lamp to visualize the dispersion of the powder.
Use of the product:
In biology lessons and general teaching of hygiene and bacteria, Glo Germ fluorescent powder is a smart tool to illustrate routes of infection and the importance of good hand hygiene. By applying the powder to a student’s hands, or to a surface in the room, and letting other students interact with the ‘infected’ classmates or touch different surfaces, students can observe under UV light how “infection” spreads in the environment. This experiment supports learning about the transmission of microorganisms and epidemic outbreaks.
In addition to educational use, the product is also useful in the healthcare, food and cleaning sectors for training and evaluating hygiene procedures. For example, it can be used to assess the effectiveness of hand washing or cleaning by applying the powder to hands or surfaces and then checking whether it has been removed correctly after cleaning.
