RALEIGH, N.C., — Uviquity, a deep tech startup developing next-generation photonic disinfection technologies, has emerged from stealth with $6.6 million in seed funding. The funding will support the company's R&D efforts, accelerating the productization of its core technology. The company is developing solid-state far-UV-C (200-230-nm) semiconductor light sources designed to deliver safe, continuous, and chemical-free disinfection for air, food, and water applications.
Unlike conventional UV-C solutions, far-UVC light has been proven safe for continuous exposure to human skin and eyes while rapidly inactivating all known pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mold spores. Until now, far-UV-C systems have relied on bulky gas-discharge lamps with limited scalability and reliability, according to the company.
Uviquity's proprietary photonic integrated circuit couples blue laser light into frequency-doubling waveguides, enabling a compact, energy-efficient, and durable solution that can be integrated into light fixtures, air handling systems, food packaging and processing equipment, agricultural crop protection systems, water purification systems, and consumer appliances.
The round was led by Emerald Development Managers with participation from AgFunder and MANN+HUMMEL.
