80% of phones had moderate-high levels of contamination including plastic cover
Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass (AMGG) is produced by incorporating silver ions (Ag+ ) as the antimicrobial agent into Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3. Trace amounts of silver ions leach to the glass surface to eliminate the surface bacteria in multiple modes. Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass has proven to show a consistent [3 log (>99.9%)] microbial reduction rate against a broad range of bacteria under the JIS Z 2801 test protocol.
The JIS Z 2801* is an internationally recognized industrial standard test protocol for measuring antibacterial efficacy. This standard is accepted by many laboratories in the U.S., Japan, Germany, and Korea. Per this method, antibacterial efficacy is measured by quantifying the survival of bacterial cells that have been held in intimate contact with the surface containing the antibacterial agent for 24 hours at 37°C/ saturated humidity. The efficiency is measured by comparing the survival of bacteria on a treated sample with that achieved on an untreated (control) sample.
