These tests were also performed with solutions of CHX and HXM at various concentrations and after their filtration on the "in-house" Sephadex TM columns to evaluate their retention and the elimination of potential cytotoxicity. Three types of controls were performed in each experiment to validate the results: (i) non-retention of viruses after filtration on Sephadex TM columns, (ii) neutralization of the potential antiviral activity of the product tested, and (iii) elimination of its cytotoxicity. To assess the non-retention of viruses, e.g. HCoV 229E, viral suspensions were mixed with sterile distilled water for the contact time defined for the experiment, filtered on the "in-house" Sephadex TM columns and titrated as describe above (Section 2.3). ./cache/cord-251974-2zwrqjj9.txt ./txt/cord-251974-2zwrqjj9.txt
