Methods can also be developed and validated for product Quality Control.

· Preservative Efficacy Testing - Assure your product meets FDA guidelines with sufficient preservative
performance.

· Sterility Testing - Available for various applications including medical device development.

· Time Kill - Provides an indication of antimicrobial efficacy where rate and amount of kill are of importance
(antiseptics, disinfectants, antimicrobials)

· D-values - Provides an indication of rapid microbial reduction, most useful for disinfectants, germicides, fungicides,
and sterilants. May also be evaluated with concern for temperature or other environmental factors.

· AOAC Testing - Sporicidal testing for germicides, disinfectants, and sterilants.
