Complete loss of infectivity was also observed after virus exposure to 1% hypochlorite (often used to
inactivate virus in liquid wastes in BSL-2/3 laboratories), 2% paraformaldehyde (used to
inactivate virus for subsequent flow cytometry), and 2% glutaraldehyde (often applied to fix virus for subsequent electron microscopy analysis) (Figure, panel A).

However, OPV may continue to be used in children who are allergic to the antibiotics used in IPV to
inactivate the virus--and it may also be used in children who are going overseas to an area where polio is endemic, since it provides more immediate protection.
Of particular value to the manufacturer of soups, sauces and gravies is the elimination of enzymic activity brought about by the high intensity thermal treatment used to
inactivate the flours, thus controlling the rate of starch breakdown during the heating of flour/water slurries, which, if not controlled, can lead to large variations in the thickness of the cooked slurry.
