3 Editorial Dear readers, Current research results indicate that the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is significantly more stable on surfaces than the original or delta variant. Surface disinfection could thus become more important again in containing the pandemic than it has been in the past two years. But this news also reminds us of a fundamental fact: disinfecting critical and frequently touched surfaces is – regardless of Coronavirus – an elementary and indispensable part of sustainable infection prevention. With the new Bacillol® 30 Sensitive, which has been available as tissues as well as foam since January, and the new flowpack holder flex for use at the point of care, current product innovations from HARTMANN are helping to improve the effectiveness of surface disinfection. We will present both products in detail to you in this issue of DISINFACTS. For its decades of innovation leadership, our Sterillium® brand has now been permanently named “Brand of the Century” by ZEIT Publishing Group. This award spurs us on to continue working on improvements in all areas. This is also demonstrated by our new, modern website: thanks to its intuitive menu navigation and its user-friendly navigation, you can now quickly and efficiently gain an overview of all important topics with just one click. Take a look! Yours, Dr. Heide Niesalla Head of HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER Dr. Henning Mallwitz Director Research & Development Dr. Heide Niesalla Dr. Henning Mallwitz
