Will 100% IPA (isopropryl alcohol) kill spores?
Endospores are resistant to "most alcohols", so would they be killed by 100% IPA in a ten minute time frame?
They are Bacillus Atrophaeus endospores.
Answer:
Probably not. Bacillus spores are resistant to just about everything. This is why hospitals use an autoclave on surgical instruments. Autoclaves are enclosed and pressurized, and they use EXTREME heat (much hotter than can be created in an open, non-pressurized state). This is the only way to kill all bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores. Hope this was a helpful answer! :)
Nope spores can survive that for much longer than 10 minutes.
I dunno, why not use Clorox, I hear it kills everything :) And where are you getting 100% isopropyl alcohol? I thought the highest otc was 90%...
Nope... alcohol won't even kill most bacteria. you want to kill stuff... try a 10% solution of hydrogen Chloride
Dude, if women over 40 are still looking for guys who only look at looks and dying for one night stands, then shes not 40.
If she's not married, she's looking for a long term relationship, which you wont find with guys who only go "OMFG shes HAWWT". Its not like these men have anything to offer anyways. PASS----
