UVZone® for pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities
UVZone® is a floor-mounted footwear sanitizing station that uses UV-C light and ozone to treat both shoe soles during an automatic 6, 8, or 10-second cycle.
Place the station at selected personnel entries where employees, contractors, or approved visitors move into clean manufacturing, laboratory, compounding, or other controlled areas.
UVZone® gives your team a repeatable shoe-sole sanitation step without operating a wet chemical footbath or handling a disposable cover at the station.
- 6, 8, or 10 Seconds
- Selectable shoe-sole treatment cycle
- UV-C + Ozone
- Both technologies operate during the same cycle
- Automatic Activation
- Weight sensors start the selected cycle
- Independent Testing
- Multiple bacteria, fungi, spores, and viruses tested under controlled laboratory conditions
Published efficacy results are organism-specific and were recorded under the laboratory conditions stated in each report. Results vary by organism, method, surface, treatment time, and application conditions.

Footwear crosses facility zones
Add Shoe-Sole Sanitizing at the Point Where Personnel Enter
Personnel may move through parking areas, offices, warehouses, corridors, restrooms, changing areas, laboratories, utility spaces, and general manufacturing areas before reaching a controlled entry.
When the same footwear crosses into a cleaner or more controlled zone, microorganisms present on the shoe sole can move across that transition with it.
UVZone® allows your facility to address the shoe sole at the doorway. The station creates a defined sanitation step before personnel continue into the selected area.
Address Footwear Before It Crosses the Entry
Place UVZone® where approved personnel move from a general facility area into a cleaner, controlled, or higher-classified operating space.
Give Every User the Same Timed Process
The selected 6, 8, or 10-second cycle provides a repeatable step for each person required to use the entry.
Make the Entry Step Easy to Identify
The floor-mounted station, designated footwear positions, visual indicators, and audible completion signal make the required step clear at the point of use.
One automatic treatment cycle
See How UVZone® Works in 3 Easy Steps
UVZone® is designed to become a defined part of a personnel entry procedure. The station activates automatically and treats both shoe soles during one timed cycle.
Step 1
Step Onto UVZone®
Position both feet on the designated treatment areas. Automatic weight sensors detect the user and start the selected cycle.
Step 2
Remain in Place for 6, 8, or 10 Seconds
UV-C light and ozone operate together during the selected cycle to reduce microbial contamination on both shoe soles.
Step 3
Continue After the Completion Signal
Visual and audible indicators tell the user when the cycle is complete and they can continue through the entry.
The user does not need to press a button, handle a control, step into liquid, or remove a disposable item after completing the UVZone® cycle.
A defined role in your contamination control strategy
Add Footwear Bioburden Reduction at Selected Personnel Entries
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology sites use layered procedures to manage personnel, materials, surfaces, air, equipment, and movement between facility zones.
UVZone® gives your quality and operations teams another defined control to evaluate for footwear at selected personnel entries.
The station does not establish compliance by itself. Your quality unit determines where it fits, which personnel use it, which cycle is selected, how the step is documented, and which existing procedures remain required.
Supports Quality Risk Management
UVZone® can be evaluated where your team has identified footwear as a potential source of bioburden movement between facility zones.
Helps Reduce Footwear Bioburden
The timed UV-C and ozone cycle treats both shoe soles before personnel continue through the selected entry.
Creates a Repeatable Personnel Step
Your site can define the station location, user group, cycle time, completion requirement, and applicable procedure.
Provides Documentation for Review
We provide available product specifications, laboratory reports, operating information, certification records, maintenance information, and current warranty documentation for your evaluation.

Compare the work required at each entry
UVZone®, Shoe Covers, and Chemical Mats Require Different Procedures
Disposable covers, dedicated footwear, chemical mats, and UVZone® perform different functions.
Your quality unit determines which procedures remain required at each entry. We help your team compare the equipment, supplies, user steps, maintenance, and documentation involved.
Shoe or boot covers in useA Single-Use Barrier With Recurring Supply Handling
Disposable shoe covers require the correct sizes, available inventory, storage, restocking, proper donning, correct removal, used-cover handling, and waste disposal. They may remain required as part of the site’s approved gowning or barrier procedure.
- Recurring purchasing
- Size and inventory management
- Storage near participating entries
- Restocking across shifts
- Correct donning and fit
- Replacement of torn covers
- Correct removal
- Used-cover handling
- Waste disposal
- Procedure compliance during every use
Chemical bath mat in useA Wet Process Requiring Chemical Control
Chemical mats and footbaths require approved chemistry, concentration control, sufficient liquid level, contact procedures, replacement schedules, cleaning, monitoring, documentation, and disposal. The site must also address organic loading, liquid tracking, and surrounding floor conditions.
- Chemical purchasing and storage
- Preparation or concentration control
- Liquid-level monitoring
- Contact procedure
- Solution replacement
- Organic-load management
- Cleaning and disposal
- Wet floor and tracking controls
- Operating records where required
UVZone® station in useFixed Equipment With One Timed Shoe-Sole Cycle
UVZone® remains at the selected entry. Each user steps onto the station, completes the selected cycle, and continues after the completion signal. The station requires sufficient floor space, electrical power, a defined operating procedure, and planned equipment and lamp maintenance.
- 24 × 24-inch station footprint
- Two-inch station height
- 120 to 240 VAC electrical input
- Clear personnel walking path
- Selected 6, 8, or 10-second cycle

- Facility review before placement
UVZone® may reduce reliance on disposable covers or chemical mats at appropriate entries. It does not replace gowning, dedicated footwear, PPE, or other procedures required by your approved site program.
Select the right personnel transitions
Place UVZone® Where Footwear Crosses Into a Controlled Area
UVZone® does not need to be placed at every door.
Start with personnel entries where footwear moves into a cleaner or more controlled zone, where users already stop for another procedure, or where your quality risk review has identified a footwear concern.
Gowning Rooms and Personnel Anterooms
Add a shoe-sole treatment step at selected gowning or anteroom transitions before personnel continue into the controlled space. Your quality unit determines how UVZone® fits with required hand hygiene, garment sequencing, dedicated footwear, shoe covers, and other gowning procedures.
Cleanroom and Controlled Manufacturing Entries
Evaluate UVZone® at selected personnel entrances serving sterile manufacturing, nonsterile manufacturing, formulation, production, packaging, or other controlled operating areas. Placement must account for room classification, airflow strategy, personnel movement, door interlocks, evacuation requirements, and the approved entry procedure.
Quality Control and Laboratory Entries
Position UVZone® before approved personnel enter selected microbiology, analytical, quality control, research, or controlled technical laboratories.
Compounding Anterooms and Controlled Pharmacy Entries
Evaluate UVZone® before personnel enter selected compounding support areas, anterooms, or controlled pharmacy spaces. The pharmacy or quality team determines how the station fits with garbing, dedicated footwear, covers, and applicable procedures.
Biotechnology Production and Research Entries
Add a defined footwear step at selected personnel transitions serving biotechnology production, research, cell culture, controlled laboratory, or development manufacturing areas.
Controlled Employee and Contractor Entries
Treat footwear before employees, vendors, maintenance personnel, or contractors continue from general facility areas into selected controlled operations.
Our team reviews personnel traffic, doorway dimensions, floor space, door operation, nearby power, surrounding equipment, cleaning access, and current entry procedures before recommending placement.
