Cert. effective against new variant Omicron
Nice try Omicron - you can't get past us!
Cert. is tested and proven in lab reports to be
'effective against all enveloped viruses'
The Omicron variant is not a new virus, it is simply a variant of SARS-CoV-2 (which causes Covid-19).
WHAT IS AN 'ENVELOPED VIRUS'?
We know there's lots of science and jargon involved when it comes to lab reports, so what does it actually mean when our lab report says "all enveloped viruses"?
A VIRUS WITH AN OUTER WALL
An 'enveloped virus' is any virus which has an outer wrapping or envelope around it. This envelope is what carries the RNA from host to host, causing the virus to spread.
Some examples of enveloped viruses are the flu, hepatitis B and C, Ebola, and unsurprisingly, Covid-19 (SARS-Cov-2).
HOW DOES CERT. DESTROY THIS?
This outer wall provides a nice soft target for destroying the virus when it is outside of its host, such as on a surface.
First, the detergent & disinfectant in Cert. work together to disrupt and modify this soft outer wall whilst it is on a surface.
Once the outer wall is down, the disinfectant is able to destroy and modify the inner RNA of the virus cell.
The unique combination of detergent & disinfectant in Cert. is the dynamic duo needed to destroy any enveloped virus, including SARS-CoV-2 and any of its variants.
