---|---|---|---|---|
0.5 min | 1 min | 3 min | 5 min | |
20 | 1.08 (0.75–1.50) | 1.33 (1.00–1.50) | 1.75 (1.50–2.00) | 1.92 (1.50–2.25) |
30 | 4.42 (4.25–4.50) | ≥ 4.75a | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 |
40 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 |
50 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 |
60 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 |
75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 | ≥ 4.75 |
aThe value of ≥ 4.75 means that no live virus is observed after the treatment, while the smaller values indicate that a different virus survives after the treatment.
