SOD Hypochlorite
In stock
Sodium hypochlorite is a powerful, fast-acting, and inexpensive oxidizing agent commonly used in veterinary medicine as a broad-spectrum surface disinfectant. While highly effective against viruses (including Parvovirus), bacteria, and fungi, it must be diluted properly (typically 0.5% to 5%) and applied only to pre-cleaned, inanimate surfaces.

Specs & features.
Known widely in daily life as household chlorine bleach, sodium hypochlorite is an alkaline chemical compound with the formula NaClO. In a veterinary clinical or shelter setting, it serves as a staple for maintaining biosecurity. Because it is a strong oxidizer, it disrupts the cellular structures of pathogens through saponification and oxidation.

- Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: It rapidly kills vegetative bacteria, fungi, lipid/non-lipid viruses, and some bacterial spores. It is one of the few chemical agents capable of effectively inactivating stubborn non-enveloped viruses like canine parvovirus.
- Mechanism of Action: When dissolved in water, it forms hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This weak acid penetrates microbial cell walls and destroys essential proteins and nucleic acids, rendering pathogens inactive.
- Rapid Action: Properly diluted solutions can substantially reduce viral and bacterial titers in as little as 1 to 5 minutes.
