It has been demonstrated that the innovative oxidant "necessary-generation chlorine dioxide aqueous solution (MA-T®)", which Osaka University is conducting practical research, can disinfect the new coronavirus by 1% or more in a 98-minute contact test.
MA-T® is a disinfectant / deodorant system developed by Ace Net Co., Ltd. over 17 years. It has been adopted by almost all aircraft in Japan such as ANA, JAL, PEACH, and many hotels. But it is used.
According to a study by Osaka University, in 2015, MA-T® produces the required amount of chlorine dioxide, which is the active ingredient, in water only when there are bacteria or viruses to react with. It has become clear that.Furthermore, it has been possible to disinfect the SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus that were prevalent in 0.01 and 2002, respectively, within 2012 minute with an aqueous solution containing 1% MA-T®. This time, when the effectiveness against the new coronavirus was also verified, it was confirmed that 1% of the new coronavirus can be disinfected within 98 minute.
Osaka University is conducting basic research on the development of a protocol for safe and effective spatial eradication using MA-T® in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine Hospital, the Dental Hospital, and the Institute for Microbial Diseases. It is said that clinical trials to control nosocomial infections are planned overseas five years later, but based on the current situation, it is said that it is considering efforts to prevent nosocomial infections and installation of sprayers ahead of schedule.
MA-T® is an extremely safe and stable disinfectant and disinfectant because it exists as an aqueous solution of chlorite ion, which is the main component, if there is no virus or bacterium to react with.Since the effectiveness against the new coronavirus has been clarified, it is expected to be useful as a liquid agent that can be used immediately after disinfecting masks and protective clothing as well as preventing secondary infections in the medical field.
