Situ Biosciences Receives ASTM Textile Test Certification
Formaldehyde is the most basic form of aldehyde representing the class of reactive antimicrobials. Situ Biosciences – Microbial Test Experts Did you know? Formaldehyde and aldehydes can be volatile at room temperature leading to the odor commonly associated with preservation of tissue or tissue samples such as in laboratories, hospitals, and mortuaries.

Enhanced Microbial ID & Your Problem Microorganisms
Microbial Product Testing 1.0 If you’re new to microbial testing, it can be confusing as to which test(s) are needed, necessary, or required. “Which test do I need?” – Is a seemingly simple question, but the reality is that the requirements for a particular product can be complex.
First Steps to Microbial Product Testing
A Guide to Microbial Testing: Microbial Control vs Microbial Elimination For Additional Guidance: First Steps to Microbial Product Testing In antimicrobial systems or microbiology testing, confusion arises when a particular system is being evaluated since the acceptable concentration of microorganisms for any particular process can differ.
Assessment & Control of Microbial Contamination
Antifungal Test Methods ASTM G 21, D 5590, and D 3273 Antifungal products are those designed to provide resistance to the growth or effects of fungi, including mold, mildew and other forms of fungi. The range of products that should be treated with an antifungal is extensive and can include the components of raw materials, […]
Antifungal Product Testing – ASTM Test Methods
The Microbial Rule of 3…. The “Rule of Three” simply stated is – Does the system have Water, Temperature, and Carbon? If ‘yes’ then the product or system will be challenged by microorganisms.
Antimicrobials: Improving Microbial Control
or “Which antimicrobial is best?” …unfortunately it’s not so simple. Product manufacturers have a challenging task when it comes to selecting antimicrobials for their products. Very few manufacturers have access to either in-house microbiology or formulation experts, or contract laboratories that have both microbial facilities and sufficient expertise in their product requirements. Details matter. For […]
