UV LED systems for chemical-free disinfection and material curing

Charlotte Venture Challenge

Semi-Final Competition : March 20, 2013

Rosanna Stokes

Problem to be Solved
n Emerging UV LED lamps are changing the disinfection and curing landscape. Robust UV LED systems are not yet available

Requires robust UV LED systems development

Dot Metrics Technologies brings devices and optimized systems that integrate emerging UV LED technologies.

Opportunity & Value Proposition

n The customer adoption of the Dot Metrics UV LED systems will be driven by the ability to have Plug and Play UV systems. n Current UV lamp systems are bulky, require warm-up time and high voltage. n Whether disinfecting fluids (water/air/other) or curing polymers (for e.g. a drug patch) our UV LED systems are programmable, instant-on, fit on the counter and require a simple wall plug. > $20 MM Product Sales by 2016
