Bioscience utilizes the approved ASTM E2946-13 method and other validated protocols to assess the effectiveness of handwash products designed for food handlers. This rigorous testing simulates real-world conditions by contaminating all surfaces of the hands and fingers with E. coli in a medium or heavy organic soil, such as beef broth or hamburger. Each test ensures a minimum baseline recovery population of ≥10⁷ colony-forming units (CFU) per hand.
Effectiveness is measured by comparing the bacteria recovered from hands treated with the test material to those from untreated, contaminated hands. This approach provides clear, actionable data to substantiate claims of antimicrobial efficacy.
Bioscience excels in creating innovative study designs to evaluate antimicrobial processes, addressing the critical human factors that contribute to foodborne illnesses. Trust us to deliver reliable results that help your product meet the highest safety and performance standards.
