IV. Sodium Hypochlorite

The Phenol Coefficient and Relative Disinfecting Power of Sodium Hypochlorite1

Harper F. Zoller and Sylvia M. Eaton

Research Department of The Nizer Laboratories Company, Detroit, Michigan

ABSTRACT

  1. The phenol coefficient of stable sodium hypochlorite is very high, varying between 42 and 300 with the organisms employed.
  2. The hydrogen ion concentration of the disinfectant in the exposure tube has little or no influence upon the phenol coefficient of NaOCl throughout the ranges employed.
  3. Mercuric chloride is not as good a bactericidal agent as sodium hypochlorite.
  4. NaOCl has a high phenol coefficient on the tubercle organism. The value of antiformin depends largely upon its content of alkalinity.
