Absorption spectra of oxygenated and de-oxygenated hemoglobin. Absorption of UV light by hemoglobin requires high energy, long exposures or thin path lengths for sufficient compound activation (psoralens, methylene blue or riboflavin) for effective pathogen inactivation. S-303 is active at neutral pH and does not require activation via an external energy source.
