ANCHOR tagged viruses provide a high-performance platform for the rapid evaluation of disinfection methods across chemical, radiative, and physical modalities. This study highlights the robustness of Vaccinia virus (VACV) and human Adenovirus type 5 (hAdV5) as environmental persistence models, demonstrating their suitability for testing disinfection protocols. ANCHOR imaging capability allows real-time visualization of disinfection efficacy, enabling rapid calibration and cost-effective validation of new disinfection systems. This technology provides essential support for the development and optimization of disinfection solutions in public areas up to the improvement of safety protocols in high-containment laboratories. The increasing number of BSL-4 laboratories worldwide underscores the critical needs for efficient and reliable decontamination systems and methods to test them in operational conditions to ensure biohazard safety.
