ISO 22196
International standard for measuring antibacterial activity on plastic and non-porous surfaces. Quantifies log reduction over 24-hour contact period.
Research Methodology
Our commitment to rigorous, reproducible research ensures every efficacy claim is backed by documented evidence and third-party verification.
Testing Standards
ASTM E2180
American Society for Testing and Materials standard for determining antimicrobial activity in polymeric materials using agar slurry methodology.
JIS Z 2801
Japanese Industrial Standard widely adopted in Asia-Pacific for antibacterial efficacy testing on treated surfaces.
Data Collection Protocol
Site Selection & Partnership
Identify appropriate facilities and establish partnerships for controlled field studies. Document site characteristics, usage patterns, and environmental conditions.
Baseline Measurement
Establish pre-treatment microbial levels using ATP bioluminescence testing and culture-based methods. Record environmental factors including temperature and humidity.
Controlled Application
Apply antimicrobial coating according to product specifications. Document application conditions, cure time, and any environmental variables.
Longitudinal Monitoring
Conduct regular testing at defined intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly) with continuous environmental monitoring throughout the study period.
Statistical Analysis
Apply rigorous statistical methods to analyze results. Calculate confidence intervals, perform significance testing, and correlate with environmental variables.
Verification & Publication
Submit findings for third-party verification. Document results in comprehensive research papers with transparent methodology disclosure.
Quality Assurance
Third-Party Laboratory Testing
All efficacy claims verified by accredited independent laboratories with no commercial interest in research outcomes.
Blind Testing Protocols
Field technicians conduct sample collection without knowledge of treated vs. control surfaces to eliminate bias.
Equipment Calibration
All testing equipment maintained and calibrated according to manufacturer specifications with documented calibration records.
Data Integrity
Raw data preserved with complete audit trails. Statistical analysis conducted using validated software and documented procedures.
