ArticlesFigure 1Hierarchical efficacy <strong>of</strong> various alkaline cleaners, biocides and gaseous decontamination treatments against the twoparvoviruses used in this and previous study (Eterpi et al., 2009). Results obtained with heat, ethanol and sodiumhypochlorite are reproduced from our previous study as a reference (Eterpi et al., 2009). All liquid chemicals (alkalinecleaners and biocides) were applied for 10 min at room temperature on viruses dried onto stainless steel couponsin the presence <strong>of</strong> blood and BSA. Viruses used for aerial decontamination tests were filtered through a MicrospinS-400 HR column (GE Healthcare) and dried onto stainless steel coupons in the presence <strong>of</strong> blood and BSA.Top panel: Results obtained with porcine parvovirus. Bottom panel: Results obtained with minute virus <strong>of</strong> mice.* : > 4-Log10 TCID50 reduction was observed.170 www.absa.org Applied Biosafety Vol. 15, No. 4, 2010
