10 povidone iodine solution in this article refers to 10% povidone iodine solution, which means that this solution contains 10% povidone iodine (equivalent to 1% titratable iodine) and is a disinfectant. What are the main uses of 10 povidone iodine solution?   About povidone iodine Povidone iodine is a loose complex formed by combining elemental iodine and a polymer carrier, with povidone acting as a carrier and solubilizer. It is a yellow-brown to brown-red amorphous powder at room temperature. It has a slight odor and is easily soluble in water or ethanol. The aqueous solution is acidic and insoluble in ether, chloroform, acetone, ethane and carbon tetrachloride. Povidone iodine solution does not have the disadvantages of iodine tincture, is lightly colored, easy to wash off, has little irritation to the mucous membrane, does not require ethanol deiodination, has no corrosive effect, and has low toxicity.   10 povidone iodine solution can effectively kill Newcastle disease, bursal disease, avian influenza, mycoplasma, Escherichia coli, salmonella, influenza, blue ear disease, etc. It can also kill parasite eggs of livestock and poultry, and inhibit the breeding of insects such as mosquitoes and flies. It can also be used in fruit trees, crops, fish and shrimp farming.   10 povidone iodine solution is an external disinfectant used for cuts, abrasions, burns and minor skin wounds. Its mechanism of action is that after this product contacts the wound or the affected area, it can depolymerize and release the iodine contained to exert a bactericidal effect. It has the characteristics of low irritation to tissues and is suitable for skin and mucous membrane infections. It is usually used for purulent dermatitis, fungal skin infection, and small-area mild burns and scalds. It is also used to disinfect small-area skin and mucosal wounds. It is also a medical disinfectant used for skin preparation before surgery, or a disinfectant and cleanser for skin preparation before injection.   10 povidone iodine solution is a solution mainly used for skin wound disinfection. It does not need to be diluted when used. The disinfectant is applied directly to the damaged skin. It should be applied within 3-5cm around the lesion and applied twice a day. If necessary, the wound can be covered with sterile gauze to avoid infection.   In summary, 10 povidone iodine solution is the most common topical disinfectant. When you need to treat the wound yourself after an injury to the outside of the body, 10 povidone iodine solution is a good choice.

Diagnostic test will provide rapid results pen-side, a huge advantage over PCR and other tests which may take up to five days to return results ALAMEDA, Calif., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alveo Technologies, Inc. (Alveo), a leader in molecular sensing and diagnostics with its proprietary technology platform, today announced a partnership with NYtor B.V (The Netherlands), an innovative assay developer, to create a rapid, accurate, pen-side test that will detect the dominant swine flu strains, including H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2. In the US, pork industry management systems regularly move pigs through different stages of production such as the nursery, growers and finishers. Transitions between stages need to occur on time to make room for the next group of animals entering the next stage, and knowing whether animals are infected prior to transport is critical for good health management. If a group of infected pigs are brought into a new facility, the virus can spread rapidly through susceptible swine. Even worse, newly infected swine could be moved to additional facilities, spreading swine flu throughout the new destination. The economic consequences of swine flu are severe. Infected pigs in the growing phase will see a production loss that will border on 12% to 15%, and if these animals are coinfected with other diseases like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus, then losses can approach 30% to 40%. Currently, PCR tests provide results in a best-case scenario of 24-to-48 hours but wait times of up to five days are more common, because samples must be shipped to a laboratory for processing. As a result, it's nearly impossible to definitively know the flu status of pigs prior to transport. A rapid, in-the-field test that's extremely precise The Alveo platform, including its mobile app, Alveo Sense, is a rapid, handheld, reusable, and rugged multiplexed molecular diagnostic device. It pairs advanced molecular assays with cloud-enabled data analytics to provide highly accurate and sensitive real-time detection, analysis, and diagnosis of diseases, pathogens, and contaminants. The platform employs Alveo's globally patented direct-electrical sensing approach to pathogen identification, leveraging loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). This portable molecular lab can deliver rapid test results at the point-of-need or in the field. Alveo's platform also provides geotagged results that can be uploaded to the cloud to give a real-time view of national outbreaks and inform response. NYtor is developing swine flu assays for the Alveo platform that will enable operations to monitor the flu status of their animals in real time with rapid, highly accurate pen-side tests. As a result, they will be able to detect and stop the spread of swine flu before multiple facilities are infected, preventing millions of dollars in lost productivity. "Combining our custom LAMP-based dedicated assays with the Alveo platform will create a strong market solution to fill a need in the pork production industry," said Han Zendman, CEO of NYtor. "Just last year, Alveo announced a partnership program that would enable companies in agriculture and public health to build accurate, rapid, in-the-field tests to detect a wide array of pathogens," said Shaun Holt, CEO of Alveo. "That partnership strategy is delivering even greater results than we anticipated, with tests in development for Avian influenza and now, for swine flu. Thanks to our platform and the joint development effort with NYtor, pork producers will soon have the means to monitor flu status of their animals in real time." About Alveo Alveo is the first company to make molecular detection and diagnostics universally accessible – on the farm, in the field, in the clinic, or in the manufacturing plant – helping prevent or significantly limit the destructive impact of viruses, fungi, bacteria, and other pathogens by detecting earlier at the point of need. Alveo's rugged and portable, multiplex-capable diagnostic platform employs a patented method of direct electrical sensing of nucleic acid amplification to provide affordable, rapid, and accurate results. By enabling early pathogen detection, Alveo helps manage global health, food security, and supply chain resiliency by providing actionable insights at lightspeed. Know Sooner, Act Faster™ with Alveo.
