Neogen Corporation (Nasdaq: NEOG) announced that it is ramping up its inventory of hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, nitrile gloves and disinfectants to help in the global effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.
Neogen’s comprehensive suite of biosecurity products, including sanitizers, apparel, cleaners and disinfectants, were primarily developed for use in Neogen’s agricultural markets; many would prove useful to stop the spread of disease—wherever it exists.

“Neogen has been built to help prevent and rapidly respond to the spread of pathogens,” said John Adent, Neogen’s president and CEO. “Products in our portfolio have been proven effective against viruses similar to COVID-19 and can be utilized to help stop the spread of disease when used in accordance with their labeled directions for use. Our Parvosol and BioSentry 904 disinfectants are EPA-approved, sub-licensed products under the ‘emerging pathogen’ label claim. We also offer a wide variety of gloves and other personal protection items to help protect those in areas where exposure to the virus may be a concern.
