Anyone know what wavelength UV they normally use for this purpose? Makes me wonder how practical a "portable" unit would be.

@stuartl @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 we also have some less portable 253nm units we use to sterilize groceries, packages, and the like as they come into the house.

These are enclosed in a box and only run while the box is shut.

It's a DIY setup, but hospitals use similar things to sterilize equipment.
