First system for assessing the antiviral efficacy of textiles and articles in everyday use

Researchers at the Institute for Hygiene and Biotechnology (IHB), part of the Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim, have developed the world's first system for assessing the efficacy of textiles and articles in everyday use against viruses. With the help of a new procedure to test antiviral effectiveness, more targeted work can now be carried out to develop products treated in this way, optimising them to meet market requirements.
