Through an experiment to test the inactivating effect of EMW (Manufactured by Effective Microorganisms Laboratory Co., Ltd.), a house cleaning product mainly composed of lactic acid bacteria, yeast, etc., it was confirmed that the infectivity of Novel Coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) decreased 99.3% after 5 minutes.
In the experiment, 1ml of undiluted EMW was added to SARS-CoV-2 (Novel Coronavirus), while 1ml of sterilized phosphate buffer solution was added in the control area. Virus infectivity was measured in cultured cells at the beginning of the experiment and 5 minutes later to investigate the inactivating effect on the virus.
The comparison between the experimental sample and the control sample after 5 minutes confirmed a 99.3% decrease in the experimental sample with EMW.
This result indicates the possibility of an inactivating effect of EM Technology on Novel Coronavirus. Further experiments are planned.
