Selgiene Ultra is effective against a range of enveloped viruses (H1N1 influenza, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV) at either a 1/10 or a 1/40 dilution for a 5-minute contact time. Therefore, it is reasonable to recommend 1/10 dilution for a contact time of 5 minutes of COVID-19 decontamination
Selgiene Ultra has been assessed for the viricidal activity following test methods such as BS EN 14476 and BS EN 14675
Surface disinfection
Selgiene Ultra and Selgiene Extreme have been assessed for virucidal activity following test
methods such as BS EN 14476 and BS EN 14675. Results show they are effective against a
range of viruses such as the H1N1 influenza virus, Norovirus, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV and
the Ebola virus.
The Coronavirus is not currently available for commercial laboratories to test against so we
cannot give a definitive contact time and dilution rate. However, given the above test data
we can reasonably expect Selgiene Ultra and Selgiene Extreme to have efficacy against the
virus.
We would therefore recommend using the below products for general disinfection in the
infection prevention and control for the 2019-nCoV.
