Chula researchers recently launched a fast-acting, alcohol-free disinfectant for viruses and bacteria that is gentle on the hands. Nationally patented, the innovation was selected as a souvenir for the Thailand Research Expo 2021.
Frequently applying disinfectant products help reduce your chance of contracting the COVID-19 virus but comes at the cost of dry and itchy hands. This was the problem that Assistant Professor Dr. Rojrit Rojanathanes, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, was determined to solve and succeeded in developing “Medical Antiseptic and Moisturizing Spray” that kills the COVID-19 virus, and bacteria within a minute. thai university scholarship
“As a replacement for alcohol spray, we invented this product that has no side effects, is non-irritating, and non-flammable. More importantly, it is cheaper than alcohol,” said Asst. Prof. Dr. Rojrit.
With its special features, the innovative Medical Antiseptic and Moisturizing Spray was selected as a souvenir at the Thailand Research Expo 2021 at Centara Grand Hotel and at Central World’s Bangkok Convention Center, during November 22-26, 2021.
Assistant Professor Amornpun Sereemaspun, M.D., Head of the Nanomedicine Research Unit and Director of the Chula Medical Innovation Center (CMIC) proposed the alcohol-free disinfectant idea to Asst Prof. Dr. Rojrit to develop it into a disinfectant product. He added that, “Healthcare workers and the general public need to use disinfectant products several times daily. This irritates the skin, makes it very dry and may even develop into open wounds. For these reasons, a non-alcoholic disinfectant spray is much needed.”
