Vos, KA; Gordon, PMK; Heyne, B. (2022). Methylene blue in combination with sunlight as a low cost and effective disinfection method for coronavirus-contaminated PPE. American Journal of Infection Control. 50(8): 906-908.

Using the Murine Hepatitis Virus (MHV) A59 coronavirus as a SARS-CoV-2 animal surrogate, we validated that methylene blue (MB) in combination with sunlight exposure is a robust, fast, and low-cost decontamination method for PPE that should be added to the toolbox of practical pandemic preparedness.
