This case disinfects laptops and masks using UV rays


The Uvo Care box, designed by the company T.Zic – N. Bonzom / Maxele Press

  • The start-up T.Zic has developed a case which allows disinfecting a phone, a pen, a key or a mask, in tissue but also in surgery, in no time.
  • Just immerse the object in the Uvo Care case, and LED UV technology is responsible for eliminating viruses, of which the Covid-19, more than 99.999%, ensures the company.
  • The company is already planning to produce 10,000 Uvo Care cases this year.

At the height of the epidemic, while the economy was at a standstill, at T.Zic, we worked hard. While the Covid-19 crisis was raging, “we had a lot of requests from people, who wanted to know if we could help them solve their problems, says Thomas Zunino, president and technical director of this Montpellier company, created in 2016, specialized , originally, in the purification of water by ultraviolet rays. The question was not whether we were going to do something, but rather what we were going to do. “

This start-up, which employs 15 people, has developed an astonishing case which allows disinfecting a mobile phone, a pen, a key, a badge or a mask, in tissue but also in surgery, in no time. Simply immerse the object in the Uvo Care case, and LED UV technology is responsible for eliminating viruses, including the Covid-19.

” Simple, fast and effective “

With a guaranteed elimination, rejoices the director general of T. Zic, Thomas Séchaud, “more than 99.999% of viruses and bacteria”. With disinfection cycles, without any risk for the user, from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

“We have succeeded in proving that even after 100 UV disinfection cycles, the masks retain the same filtration property, notes the entrepreneur. It is a simple, fast and effective solution. This makes it possible to secure, for example, the return of employees or customers to the workplace. This can be an ideal device for an optician, to quickly disinfect eyeglass frames after trying on clients. “

An ecological issue

T.Zic, whose invention has been validated in the laboratory, already plans to produce 10,000 Uvo Care cases this year, representing a turnover of more than 3 million euros.

The company also has an ecological position, which aims to “get out of the problem of single-use masks, with the questions of scarcity or waste management that this can pose”, notes Thomas Séchaud. Disinfecting your mobile phone with this box is all the disinfectant wipes that will not be thrown away, rejoices the company, hosted by the metropolitan nursery Cap Alpha, in Clapiers.

The price: 349 euros. First, for professionals. And high-tech madmen, who are looking for a solution to make viruses disappear from everyday objects.
