Scientists from the University of AIX-Marseille in France, the set temperature of the deaths of coronavirus. The study is published on the bioRxiv portal.
In the experiment, a strain of coronavirus was placed in a sterile tube and the tube with the biomaterial. Afterwards both samples were heated to 60 degrees Celsius for one hour. It turned out that the virus that resides in a non-sterile sample, was able to reproduce. To deactivate it completely failed only after heating the sample up to 92 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
it is Noted that disinfection in most laboratories is carried out by heating the material only to 60 degrees within one hour. Scientists have suggested that for samples with a high content of this virus may not be enough, and expressed the hope that the results of the study will help to choose the most suitable method of decontamination of coronavirus.
In March, scientists from the University of Hong Kong called the temperature at which the coronavirus is particularly active. “Beloved” was the temperature about four degrees above zero. If you do not carry out disinfection, in such circumstances, the virus will remain active for 14 days.
