Your cellphone carries ten times more bacteria than toilet seats! Unbelievable, right? But it’s true, at least according to some scientists at the University of Arizona. Our phones harbor such mammoth amounts of microorganisms because we practically take them everywhere, and we freely transfer germs from our hands to phones. In these unprecedented times, people have had to pay more attention to hand hygiene than ever before. While soaps and sanitizers do a great job, they are not always convenient to use, especially when you have to disinfect surfaces other than your hands.
UVLEN is a portable digital sanitizer that’s perfect for disinfecting your hands and virtually every other surface. The manufacturers claim that this tiny sanitizer converts the regular light coming from your phone’s flash into UV light that’s capable of sterilizing the surfaces it comes in contact with.
Design and features
UVLEN follows the path of existing UV disinfection devices such as the Xenex Industrial robots. The device features a patented Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation coat and Diffraction Grating splitting white beams, combined with a dichroic mirror filter built with Fused Silica Amorphous. The technology and design selectively allows UV light to pass through while reflecting lights at higher wavelengths.
The manufacturers say that UVLEN produces high-efficiency 254nm UV light that’s safe enough for the skin but unforgiving for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Its unique advantage is that it can operate digitally and adapt to multiple mobile field scenarios. This makes it compatible with virtually every kind of smartphone. The device is wholly manufactured in Korea and adheres to the strictest quality control standards.
How it works
UVLEN can sanitize your hands or any surface you point your smartphone’s flashlight at within 10 seconds. All you have to do is attach the device to your smartphone and download the mobile app. The highly efficient UV light filter ensures there’s enough UV penetration to kill potentially harmful microorganisms instantly.
Is UVLEN safe to use?
The UVLEN mobile app controls its performance algorithms and ensures your digital sanitizer delivers just the necessary amount of UV light to kill microorganisms. According to the manufacturers, the amount of light delivered is safe for human and animal skin.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
