Alfa Chemistry Launches Anti-Virus Testing for Quaternary Ammonium Salt Fungicides

Alfa Chemistry, a US-located chemical company reputed for supplying all kinds of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), recently launched its new anti-virus testing service, aiming to test and analyze the antiviral function of various quaternary ammonium salt fungicides.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the consumption of quaternary ammonium salt fungicides has risen dramatically. Meanwhile, QACs are believed to suppress and eliminate viruses effectively, thus protecting human health.

“Thus far, QACs have served as active ingredients in over 200 disinfectants. Although they are recommended by the U.S. EPA for use to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus in different settings like households and workplaces, consumers may want to verify if the purchased disinfectant products have reserved the corresponding disinfecting effects as claimed by manufacturers. On the other hand, manufacturers may also require detailed anti-virus testing reports to prove the integrity of products for further market promotion. Here we are, to meet both needs!” Said the Marketing Chief of Alfa Chemistry.

For quaternary ammonium disinfectants, i.e., disinfection in the form of aerosol, disinfection in the form of smearing, disinfection in the form of immersion, as well as quaternary ammonium antibacterial materials like ceramic sanitary ware, polymer materials, antibacterial glass, paint film, filters, and nanomaterials, Alfa Chemistry can perform a series of antimicrobial testing services to identify the existence of Herpes simplex virus (ATCCVR-1493), Herpes zoster virus (ATCCVR-1433), Coronavirus 229E (ATCCVR-740), Influenza virus H1N1 (ATCCVR-1469), Influenza virus H3N2 (ATCCVR-544), Adenovirus type-5 (ATCCVR-5), Enterovirus EV71 (ATCCVR-1432), Coxsackie virus A18 (ATCCVR-176), Rotavirus (ATCCVR-2018), and other viruses.
