How does SteriPEN
®
Adventurer
Opti
disinfect water?
SteriPEN
®
Adventurer
Opti
uses short wave germicidal UV light
to disinfect water. This range of UV light disrupts the DNA
within bacteria, viruses and protozoa, rendering them unable
to reproduce and therefore, harmless. For more detailed
information, visit our web site at ww.steripen.com.
