Danh từ

This term refers to a specific chemical compound used in clinical and laboratory settings. It is characterized by its high efficacy in killing spores and viruses, making it a standard for cold sterilization of heat-sensitive medical devices like endoscopes.

As a chemical substance, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It describes the material itself rather than individual units, meaning it does not have a plural form and is typically quantified using measurements of concentration or volume, such as a percentage solution.
