Preparation of hygiene and disinfection products at URACCAN Science Laboratories in the context of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Abstract

Within the context of the pandemic caused by the spread of COVID-19 where there is no specific treatment, nor a vaccine for prevention, so the best way is to avoid being exposed to the virus. It is then necessary to comply with the disinfection and control measures that have been shown to minimize the chances of contagion or infection. In this process, the present experimental work was developed, in the Science Laboratory of the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast (URACCAN), Nueva Guinea Campus, with the purpose of developing hygiene, cleaning and disinfection supplies, obtaining as results, solid soap, 4% sodium hypochlorite and 70% ethyl alcohol. Based on the foregoing, these products are considered as a sustainable alternative to fight against the disease, with the perspective of reducing acquisition costs and ensuring their availability for the university community.
