- Antimicrobial Efficacy of Soaps
Soaps are designed to physically remove dirt and microorganisms from the skin. However, antimicrobial soaps go a step further by actively killing or inhibiting microbial growth.
We perform a range of tests to evaluate:
- Reduction in microbial load after washing
- Spectrum of activity against common bacteria and fungi
Common test standards include IS 11479 (Part-1 & 2) for hand wash efficacy.
- Hand Sanitizer Efficacy Testing
Hand sanitizers are critical for infection control when water and soap are unavailable. The product’s effectiveness depends on its alcohol concentration, formulation, and contact time.
Our sanitizer testing includes:
- Bactericidal, Yeasticidal, Fungicidal and virucidal activity tests
- Testing is performed as per ASTM E2315 / EN 1276 / EN 1275 / EN 1040
- Assessment against specific pathogens, including coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aereganosa, Enterococcus hirae, MS2 Phage, Candida albicans, Aspergillus brasiliensis etc.
These tests ensure the sanitizer delivers rapid and reliable microbial reduction under realistic conditions.
- Disinfectant Efficacy Testing
Disinfectants are used on surfaces and instruments to prevent cross-contamination in hospitals, laboratories, industries, and homes. As different environments require different levels of disinfection, we offer tailored testing programs based on product type and intended use.
Our disinfectant efficacy testing covers:
- Surface disinfectants (ASTM E2315, EN 13697)
- Fungicidal, Virucidal, and Bactericidal activity
We simulate real-life application conditions to determine how well the disinfectant performs against target microorganisms on various surfaces.
