Does Lonza have a formula effective against HBV?
Yes, currently, we have over a dozen registrations that include Lonza’s R-82 Formulation Seriers and Formulation HWS Series. Since the new protocol(s) has been approved, the interest in tuberculocidal effective disinfectants has diminished. Interest in tuberculocidal disinfectants increased when the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued their blood borne pathogen directive. At that time (1993), a Hepatitis B virus test protocol did not exist. As result, OSHA listed a few methods to neutralize blood spills, one of which was to use a tuberculocidal effective disinfectant. Additionally, these same formulations have been tested and found effective against Hepatitis C virus as well as Hepatitis B.
