COVID-19 Surface Disinfection
Products & Best Practices
Quip Laboratories offers a portfolio of EPA-registered disinfectants with demonstrated efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Find the right chemistry for your facility and application method.
Important: Always search EPA List N by EPA Registration Number. Sub-registered products appear under their original registration name, not the product name on the label. The EPA registration number for each product is listed on the product label and in its Safety Data Sheet (SDS). When in doubt, contact us — we can confirm eligibility for your application.
EPA-Registered Disinfectants for SARS-CoV-2
Quip Laboratories manufactures EPA-registered disinfectants proven effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. Our products span multiple active ingredient chemistries — chlorine dioxide, quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide with silver, and citric acid — giving you options suited to your surface types, contact time requirements, and regulatory environment.
All efficacy claims on this page reflect the registered EPA label for each product. Always follow label directions for dilution, contact time, and application method. The label is the law under FIFRA.
Disinfectants with SARS-CoV-2 Efficacy
The products below carry EPA-registered efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 or hold an Emerging Viral Pathogens (EVP) claim. Always follow label instructions for proper use.
A chlorine dioxide tablet disinfectant for use on pre-cleaned hard, non-porous surfaces. One tablet dissolved in a quart of water creates a ready-to-use 100 ppm solution. Can be sprayed, wiped on, or used as a dip. Labeled for hospitals, medical and dental offices, veterinary facilities, and related environments.
View ProductA chlorine dioxide tablet disinfectant sharing the same EPA registration as MB-10, offering a non-corrosive alternative formulation. Dissolves in water to produce a ready-to-use disinfecting solution. Suitable for spray, wipe, and fogging applications on pre-cleaned hard surfaces.
View ProductA multipurpose, neutral pH germicidal detergent and laboratory disinfectant that cleans and disinfects in one step. Formulated without added dyes or fragrances. Stable when diluted, non-volatile. Suitable for quart spray bottles, hose-end foam application, and mopping of general traffic areas.
View ProductA ready-to-use, EPA-registered hydrogen peroxide and silver formulation designed for both surface disinfection and whole-room fogging via the Halo Disinfection System™. HaloMist holds an Emerging Viral Pathogens (EVP) claim. Note: HaloMist is a Quip Laboratories product — it is not an accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP) formulation and should not be compared to AHP-based products from other manufacturers.
View ProductOne-step, no-rinse disinfectant wipes formulated with citric acid on a 100% plant-based, compostable substrate. EPA DfE (Designed for the Environment) status. No added dyes, no added fragrances, no PPE required. Suitable for healthcare facilities, laboratories, food processing areas, offices, and educational institutions.
View ProductA ready-to-use quaternary ammonium disinfectant with a 2-year shelf life. Maintains a tuberculocidal (TB) EPA label claim, and serves as both a fungicide and mildewstat. Effective in hard water and organic soils. Packaged in quarts and gallons for convenient use across a range of facility types.

Effective disinfection requires more than selecting the right product. Following proper procedures ensures the product's registered efficacy is actually achieved on the surface.
Disinfectants work on pre-cleaned surfaces. Visible soil, organic material, and residue can significantly reduce efficacy. Always clean with an appropriate detergent and allow surfaces to dry or rinse before applying a disinfectant, unless using a one-step cleaner/disinfectant approved for soiled surfaces — check your product label.
Every EPA-registered disinfectant has a required contact time — the amount of time the surface must remain wet with the product to achieve the labeled kill claims. This information is on the product label. A quick wipe and dry is not sufficient. Re-apply if the surface dries before the contact time has elapsed.
Concentrated disinfectants must be diluted according to label instructions for each use-site and pathogen. Too dilute and you lose efficacy; too concentrated may cause surface damage or safety concerns. Measure carefully, and use fresh solution — many diluted disinfectants have limited stability once mixed. MB-10 and Vimoba tablets provide consistent solution strength every time.
Focus disinfection efforts on surfaces that are frequently touched by multiple people: door handles, light switches, countertops, shared equipment controls, sink faucets, and touchscreens. Frequency matters — high-touch surfaces in occupied spaces should be disinfected more often than low-contact areas. Develop and document a consistent schedule.
Under FIFRA, the product label is a legal document. Use the product only for uses listed on the label, at the labeled concentration, with the labeled application method, and on the labeled surface types. If your intended use is not covered by the label, contact us — we can help identify a product that is registered for your specific application.
Product selection alone does not equal a protected environment. Consistent, correct application by trained staff is what creates reliable protection. Ensure your team knows which products to use in each area, proper dilution and application procedures, required contact times, and applicable PPE requirements listed on the product label.
