This study has tested the efficacy of UAS technology for the removal of 239 total protein and prion-amyloid from stainless steel, which is considered the most difficult 240 contaminant to decontaminate in the surgical field. 335 J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f Tissue protein (Dark grey bars) and prion-associated amyloid (light grey bars) attachment 545 from different prion-infected brain homogenates (22L, ME7 and 263K) to surgical stainless 546 steel pre and post treatment with an ultrasonically activated stream (UAS) (Graph A). ./cache/cord-266977-5swwc6kr.txt ./txt/cord-266977-5swwc6kr.txt
