Sensor takes guesswork out of N95 decontamination
Northwestern Now Wireless system can sense when masks are properly decontaminated in moist-heat For moist-heat decontamination to properly sanitize N95 facemasks, the conditions have to be perfect. If the temperature or humidity are even the slightest bit too low, then dangerous pathogens can survive the process, putting mask-wearers at risk for infection. Researchers at Northwestern University, University of Michigan and University of Florida have developed a new wireless sensor platform takes the guesswork out of decontaminating N95 facemasks. By sensing temperature and humidity and track...
