Frugal science--a low-cost way to decontaminate PPE equipment

(University of Delaware) In the age of COVID-19, being able to MacGyver a solution to reliably decontaminate masks and other PPE equipment could make a real impact. University of Delaware researchers, led by biomedical engineer Jason Gleghorn, have devised a system for decontaminating N95 masks using off-the-shelf materials that can be purchased at a hardware store for about $50, combined with ultraviolet type C (UV-C) lights found in academic research and industrial facilities.
