Assessment of Virucidal Ability of Chemical Disinfectants¹

Institut für Hygiene und Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Freien Universität, Berlin, Germany

ABSTRACT

Increasing interest has been shown in studying and testing the virucidal properties of disinfectants. At the moment there are no well-established standard methods available; quite different procedures have been employed. Therefore, there is no satisfactory way of comparing the results obtained in this field. We present some of these problems and propose standard test methods to overcome these difficulties.
