Selective photonic disinfection
Appearance
Selective photonic disinfection (SEPHODIS) is an ultrashort pulse laser technology developed by Tsen and colleagues to combat pathogens including viruses and bacteria.[1][2][3][4][5] SEPHODIS relies on extremely brief pulses of light to destroy viral capsids while minimizing collateral damage to human cells and proteins. The technology is being developed as an in vivo blood treatment regimen via dialysis, as well as a general system for producing inactivated vaccines.
