Table 5.

Effect of Di-N-decyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DNC) on SARS-CoV-2 inactivation.

Concentration (mg/L) Log10 reduction in infectious SARS-CoV-2 titer achieved
Mean (Min ~ Max)
0.5 min 1 min 5 min 10 min
170 2.50 (2.25*2.75) ≥ 4.92a ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92
212 3.59 (3.50–3.75) ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92
283 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92
425 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92
850 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92 ≥ 4.92

aThe value of ≥ 4.92 means that no live virus is observed after the treatment, while the smaller values indicate that a different amount of virus survives after the treatment.
