Disinfectant Effectiveness Tests performed in our laboratory are carried out in accordance with the USP43 NF38 <<1072>> standard, unless another standard is declared.
Disinfectant efficacy test studies are carried out to logarithmically determine the killing effect of disinfectants used in clean areas on microorganism groups.
In order for a disinfectant to be evaluated effectively in our laboratory, the following analyses are performed together.
Dilution Method: With this method, the effectiveness of the disinfectant against standard test microorganisms and organisms isolated from the environment is determined at various concentrations and various contact times.
Surface Control Method: The “Dilution Method” is used to determine the logarithmic reduction of microorganisms on surfaces as a result of applying disinfectants at concentrations shown to be effective to the desired surfaces for the specified and reported contact times.
Disinfectant effectiveness analyses are concluded by evaluating both test results.
