Innovative Product Development Trial Design

High throughput laboratory testing allows for efficient optimization of a products' formulation.

Antimicrobials are costly, by optimizing the formulation appropriately can lower costs, improve antimicrobial performance, and also improve environmental health and safety targets.

Combinations of antimicrobials with appropriate auxiliary additives such as UV stabilizers, plasticizers, odor absorbers, and colorants can all contribute to a better finished product.

Antimicrobial Antimicrobial Product Development

Improving the level of product hygiene can be done by incorporating additives into the base material such as in plastics, resins, coatings, textiles and metals.

In addition, reduction in microbial contamination serve to improve the life and performance of the finished product.

Selection of the additives, matching this to the manufacturing process, and product performance are important to achieve the intended durability for the finished material.

No matter the biological system, antimicrobial testing requires consistency and accuracy to aid in the development process. Aspergillus Antimicrobial Product Development -Situ Biosciences
