For antimicrobial testing, knowing what, when, and how to test is as critical as the antimicrobial additive being used.

Antimicrobial products can be costly.

Steps in optimizing a formulation or product:

1. Product Performance Requirements

Use environment and durability

Material formulation

Material compatibility and sustainable alternatives

2. Antimicrobial Use Categories

Industrial

Consumer

Commercial

Food

3. Regulatory Scope

Regional and/or Global

United States EPA and FDA, Canada, Europe, or Asia

Required compliance, testing, and certification.

A proper assessment will help economize on cost, improve performance, and decrease time for development.

 

Microbiology and Quality Control

Untreated...problem microbes can grow in nearly any environment.

These problems can develop into numerous issues both with the raw materials and the finished products.

In terms of impact, control over the microbiological ecology in the manufacturing process is the first and best step toward maintaining a high level of quality control.

Implementing effective antimicrobial quality control practices can improve the profitability of your business.

Situ Biosciences will help you in your plant audits, disinfection and cleanup of troublesome microbiological contaminations. Provide maintenance microbiological testing and routine scheduled testing to help managed the process and help implement procedures to control the environment so that quality issues can be avoided.

Examples of process control include:

• Plant Hygiene assessment
• Process water
• Raw material recovery
• Finished product antimicrobial stability
• Seasonal assessments and control recommendations
