Until an effective
vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is available on a widespread scale, the control of the
COVID-19 pandemic is reliant upon effective pandemic control measures. The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to remain viable on surfaces and in
aerosols, means indirect contact transmission can occur and so there is an opportunity to reduce transmission using effective
disinfectants in public and communal spaces. Virusend (TX-10), a novel
disinfectant, has been developed as a highly effective
disinfectant against a range of microbial agents. Here we investigate the ability of Virusend (TX-10) to inactivation SARS-CoV-2. Using surface and
solution inactivation assays, we show that Virusend (TX-10) is able to reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral titre by 4log 10 PFU/mL within 1 minute of contact. Ensuring
disinfectants are highly effective against SARS-CoV-2 is important in eliminating environmental sources of the virus to control the
COVID-19 pandemic.
