  • Publication number: 20220015359
    Abstract: Disinfectant/sanitizer solutions contain aldehyde, surfactant, a quaternary ammonium compound, a main solvent and a co-solvent. Clear disinfectant/sanitizer solutions are made by adding the components of the solutions in a certain order and mixing them together. Concentrated disinfectant/sanitizer solutions can be diluted prior to being applied to a hard surface. Disinfectant/Sanitizer solutions are in the form of a liquid or spray. Liquid disinfectant/sanitizer solutions may be applied to a hard surface using a wipe impregnated or wetted with the solutions.

  • Patent number: 10316347
    Abstract: In situ optical analysis of bacterial endospores can be inhibited when the endospores are present within an optically active carrier medium. To help isolate the endospores from the carrier medium, in some examples, the carrier medium is passed through a hydrophobic material that captures the endospores via hydrophobic attraction. Subsequently, a germination fluid and lanthanide source, such as terbium, can be added to the bacterial endospores captured on the hydrophobic material to form a lanthanide-dipicolinic acid complex in the germination fluid. The germination fluid can then be optically analyzed by measuring the fluorometric response of the lanthanide-dipicolinic acid complex to determine a concentration of the bacterial endospores in the carrier medium.
