Actual (reported)JUC is a commercially available wound care spray. It is evaluated for the efficacy when using as a hygienic hand rub following the protocol described in the European standard EN 1500:1997 "Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Hygienic handrub - Test method and requirement (phase 2/step 2)". A crossover study to compare the JUC solution with 60% (v/v) propan-2-ol by using Escherichia coli K12 NCTC strain 10538 as test organism.

Actual (reported)Change of Colony forming units on hands from pre-value (baseline) to post-value
Pre-value and post-value were collected by rubbing the fingertips and thumb tips of each hand for 1 minute on the base of a Petri dish containing medium. Then the samples with appropriate dilutions were plated onto agar plates for incubation, and colony forming units of the plates were counted.
Pre-value (baseline) as 0 minutes: at the time after handwashing and before application of JUC or alcohol; Post-value at 5 minutes after the baseline: as after hand contamination, application of JUC or alcohol and drying of hands
Change of colony forming units on hands from baseline to 8 hours after hand rubbing with JUC
Pre-value (baseline) at 0 hour: at the first time after applicaiton of JUC and challenged by the bacteria; Post-values measured at each hour (1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 hours) after the initial application of JUC and bacterial challenge at every hour
Bactericidal efficacy of JUC and neutralizer

Following standard one-minute handwashing, both hands were immersed up to the mid-metacarpals for 5 seconds into a contamination fluid containing E. coli. Handrubs were performed by using 60% propan-2-ol into the cupped hands and rub vigorously for 30 seconds, the procedure was completed by a 5 seconds rinse of the fingers under running tap water and excess water was shaken off.
Following standard one-minute handwashing, both hands were immersed up to the mid-metacarpals for 5 seconds into a contamination fluid containing E. coli. Handrubs were performed by pouring 1.5 ml of JUC into the cupped hands and rub vigorously for 30 seconds, the procedure was completed by a 5 seconds rinse of the fingers under running tap water and excess water was shaken off.
