Disinfecting Wipes EPA Disinfectant Efficacy Testing
Project Description
EPA Environmental Microbiology Laboratory needed for efficacy studies on disinfecting wipes (i.e. can the wipes kill certain organisms) I have attached the official EPA testing guidelines. They are very detailed and lengthy, but the best guidance is on pages 2-3 of the EPA Disinfectant Test Guidelines document that is attached. The tables on those pages detail the type of testing required. All testing much be done at a lab that satisfies the EPA's Good Laboratory Practices guidelinesAlso, below is the testing included in quote we got from a US lab that has experience with EPA requirements.Testing Includes: Microorganism(s)? Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442? Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 Test Substance(s): Ready to Use Towelettes?3 lots of test substance prepared at or below the Lower Certified Limit (LCL)? Number of treatment wipes per carrier and total passer per carrier TBD by the Study Sponsor Contact Time(s)?Time zero / setup? Priced for one contact time (=10 minutes) 60 carriers assayed per microorganism, per test substance lot Organic soil load may be incorporated into test inoculum at the Sponsor's request
