AOAC 966 Hand Sanitizer Testing
The AOAC International Standard Method 966.01 is a widely recognized protocol used to determine the efficacy of hand sanitizers against various microorganisms. This method evaluates whether a product can effectively reduce bacterial and fungal contaminants on hands, ensuring that the product meets stringent hygiene standards.
In this testing process, samples are prepared by applying the test product to agar plates containing appropriate organisms. The plates are incubated under specific conditions, followed by examination of colony-forming units (CFUs). The efficacy is then calculated based on the reduction in CFUs compared to the control sample. This method ensures that hand sanitizers not only meet regulatory requirements but also provide effective hygiene solutions.
The AOAC 966.01 test is crucial for manufacturers of cleaning and hygiene products as it provides a standardized approach to evaluating product efficacy. It helps in identifying products that can reliably reduce microbial contamination, thus contributing to better public health outcomes.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the protocols outlined by AOAC International to ensure accurate and reliable test results. We provide thorough documentation and detailed reports for each testing cycle, ensuring transparency and traceability throughout the process.
