SARS-CoV-2 also known as "coronavirus" is a new virus, with no current specified treatment (up to the publication date of this page). However by cleaning hands and surfaces, the spreading of the virus can be slowed down or stopped.

So how can we directly fight the virus and prevent infections? There are ways for us to destroy the virus and reduce our own chances of becoming infected with it, which include:

Proper hand washing
The use of alcohol sanitizer
The use of a bleach solution
The use of a hydrogen peroxide

Monitoring the quality control of disinfectants can be done virtually by anyone in the lab or near the production area. Learn more below:

The quality control of disinfectants is crucial for manufacturers. The determination of the concentration of key components in their products (disinfectants) can be done via refractive index or density measurements. These two techniques are highly accurate, fast and simple to perform. The quality control of disinfectants can be done within minutes and requires only approximately 2mL of sample.

Density and refractive index allow a multitude of tasks to be accomplished:

Automatic concentration determinations with built-in tables and custom calculations
Quality control: verifications of the sample's upper and lower control limits
Full traceability and documentation of the results

In this application note you will learn more how how METTLER TOLEDO's instruments can support your disinfectant formulation and quality control processes.
