Steribin, Inc. is a start-up company which has developed a patented device to help reduce the risk of illness and disease that may be spread at airport security lanes. Using high-intensity pulse-lighting, security bins can be sanitized in seconds, eliminating contagious bacteria and illnesses, while also maintaining the existing flow of passengers. The process is quick and easy, reducing the need of additional time or people, and is a great safety benefit for passengers and airport personnel. More and more media outlets have been addressing this critical concern at airports, and Steribin fills the need in the marketplace.
