What is the phenol coefficient?
The phenol coefficient is a measure used to evaluate the disinfecting power of a chemical compared to phenol. It is determined by comparing the dilution of a test compound that achieves a specific level of microbial kill to that of phenol under identical conditions. A phenol coefficient greater than 1 indicates that the test compound is more effective than phenol, while a coefficient less than 1 indicates lower effectiveness. This metric helps in assessing the potency of disinfectants in microbiological applications.
