Comparison of the inactivation properties of different alcohols under clean and dirty conditions. 100 μl of ethanol [40, 60% (v/v)], 1-propanol [40, 60% (v/v)] or 2-propanol [40, 60% (v/v)] were pipetted on the dried virus inoculums and incubated for 5 minutes. Results represent the mean log₁₀ reduction with standard deviation of two replicates per concentration of the substance of two independent experiments.
