We investigated the ability of Luminore CopperTouch copper and copper-nickel surfaces to inactivate filoviruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The copper and copper-nickel surfaces inactivated 99.9% of Ebola and Marburg viruses after 30 min, and the copper surfaces inactivated 99% of SARS-CoV-2 in 2 h. These data reveal that Ebola virus, Marburg virus, and SARS-CoV-2 are inactivated by exposure to copper ions, validating Luminore CopperTouch as an efficacious tool for infection control.
我们研究了 Luminore CopperTouch 铜和铜镍表面灭活丝状病毒和严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 的能力。铜和铜镍表面在 30 分钟内使 99.9%的埃博拉和马尔堡病毒失活,铜表面在 2 小时内使 99%的 SARS-CoV-2 失活。这些数据表明,埃博拉病毒、马尔堡病毒和 SARS-CoV-2 可通过暴露于铜离子而被灭活,证实了 Luminore CopperTouch 是一种有效的感染控制工具。
