Steril-Aire is proud to be the exclusive sponsor for UVC and air quality for the Atlantic Codex exhibition.


air handler kitSteril-Aire UVC Emitters™ have been installed at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (Ambrosiana Library) in Milan, Italy to protect an historic exhibit of the Atlantic Codex drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. The library/museum, which has guarded and preserved the Leonardo collection since 1637, is bringing thousands of drawings out of the vault and unbinding them for their first-ever public display in Milan and later in exhibitions all over the world.

Why Steril-Aire?

After extensive research, library officials determined that Steril-Aire UVC technology offered the best option for preserving these 500-year-old documents against the potential ravages of mold and bacteria that travel through building air handling systems. The UVC devices provide a constant germicidal cleansing action to keep building air clean and free of harmful microbes.

In exchange for providing the high-output UVC devices for the installation in collaboration with our Italian distributor IMACO International Mfg. Corp. (Milan), Steril-Aire, Inc. has been named the exclusive sponsor for UVC and air quality for the Atlantic Codex exhibition. When parts of the collection will tour to other major museums across the world - as expected - Ambrosiana will encourage the directors of these facilities to install Steril-Aire UVC protection to preserve these priceless drawings.

Steril-Aire's multi-patented devices are proven to protect building occupants and contents against the damaging effects of mold, bacteria and other microorganisms that grow in and circulate through air handling systems. We are excited and honored that our technology is to play a vital behind-the-scenes role in safeguarding this historic exhibition.

Steril-Aire devices use the C wavelength of the ultraviolet spectrum to target the DNA of mold, bacteria and viruses, destroying the cells or making it impossible for them to replicate. The devices are installed in air handling systems opposite the coil. Studies have shown that UVC has a dramatic impact on mold proliferation, reducing the growth of mold by more than 99 percent.

Exhibit plans detailed

The 1,119-page Atlantic Codex is the largest collection of Leonardo's drawings, embracing his thoughts and contributions to the arts and sciences for more than 40 years from 1478 to 1519. Because the collection is so extensive, it is on display over a six-year period that began in September, 2009 and will continue through 2015.

Throughout this time, 22 pages will be exhibited for three months and then replaced by new drawings in each of two locations in Milan. Ambrosiana Library officials note that Steril-Aire UVC technology is an important element in the total protection strategy.
