Fourteen disinfectants were tested in vitro for activity against soil bacteria and fungi attached to a boot worn in New Zealand, and then eight were further evaluated on three types of field-worn footwear. From in vitro tests sodium hypochlorite (JanolaTM), calcium hypochlorite (Haz-TabTM) and a quaternary ammonium product (Trimove) gave almost complete kill of bacteria. Four disinfectants (sod...

AIM The current study has been chosen to evaluate the efficacy of calcium hypochlorite as a disinfecting additive for the gypsum products and its effect on compressive and tensile strength of the set material. It is hypothesized that, the addition of calcium hypochlorite to type V dental stone in sufficient quantity to disinfect the material would have no deleterious effect on compressive or te...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of prolonged oral administration of calcium hypochlorite in the drinking water of commercial cockerels. It was carried out in order to ascertain probable toxicity associated with prolonged exposure to calcium hypochlorite. Thirty-two healthy birds were used; they were grouped into four groups of eight. Group 1, which served as the control, rece...

Chlorine is usually combined with inorganic compounds, such as sodium or calcium, to produce hypochlorites, which are effective disinfectants. Chlorine mixed with sodium is a liquid bleach known as sodium hypochlorite NaOCl. Chlorine mixed with calcium is usually in granular or tablet form and is called calcium hypochlorite Ca(OCL)2. Chlorine may also be available as chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Ho...

i he use ot injections of 2 per cent, solutions of hypochlorite of lime and calcium hypochlorite has been recommended by Calmette for immediate treatment in snake bite. He states that those solutions are effective and possess the advantage of not producing severe local destructive effects. It was suggested that outfits of ampoules containing hypochlorite solution might be useful for those expos...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (sh) and calcium hypochlorite (ch) against enterococcus faecalis (e. faecalis) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qpcr) analysis and also to compare their cytocompatibility on l929 murine fibroblasts using mossman’s tetrazolium toxicity (mtt) assay. methods and materials...

The harmless treatment of dead chickens is an important content in poultry production. This paper compared the effects by adding different disinfectants, including quicklime and calcium hypochlorite. results showed that both hypochlorite could increase total bacteria content, improve capacity, shorten killing time Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. effect was better than experiment provide...

1. The use of the ears of rabbits is proposed in testing the irritant effect of antiseptics. 2. It is necessary, because of individual variations, to use solutions having definite irritant actions as controls. 3. 0.5 per cent sodium hypochlorite solutions have minimum irritant effects over a range of alkalinity of from about 100 to 1,000 times that of water (pH about 9 to 10). Solutions may be ...
