ISO 16187 Determination of antibacterial activity of polymeric surfaces
The ISO 16187 standard provides a robust method for determining the antibacterial efficacy of polymeric materials. This service is crucial for ensuring that textiles and other polymer-based products effectively inhibit bacterial growth, thereby enhancing hygiene standards in various applications.
This testing protocol is particularly important as it addresses growing concerns about antimicrobial resistance and the need for effective surface protection against pathogens. Polymeric surfaces are widely used in sectors such as healthcare, consumer goods, and automotive industries due to their durability and ease of maintenance.
The test procedure involves exposing a sample of polymeric material to standardized bacterial cultures under controlled conditions. The antibacterial activity is then quantified by measuring the reduction in viable bacteria after exposure compared to untreated controls. This method ensures that the tested materials meet stringent hygiene standards, thus safeguarding public health and maintaining product integrity.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 16187 guidelines to ensure consistent and reliable results. Our team of experts performs each test meticulously, following precise protocols to minimize variables that could affect the outcome. The process begins with careful selection and preparation of the polymeric sample, ensuring it accurately represents the intended product.
The testing environment is strictly controlled to replicate real-world conditions as closely as possible. This includes maintaining consistent temperature and humidity levels, using standardized bacterial strains, and employing validated methods for measuring bacterial reduction. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to conduct these tests with precision and accuracy, providing clients with confidence in the results.
The reported data is comprehensive and detailed, including both quantitative measures of bacterial reduction and visual observations. This information can be used by clients to make informed decisions about product design, material selection, and marketing strategies. Compliance with ISO 16187 not only enhances the reputation of the tested products but also ensures they meet regulatory requirements.
Our service is tailored to help our clients achieve their objectives in various sectors. For instance, healthcare providers can use this data to select materials that effectively reduce nosocomial infections. Consumer goods manufacturers can enhance product safety and appeal by demonstrating strong antimicrobial properties. Automotive companies can ensure the longevity of their products while maintaining hygiene standards.
By leveraging ISO 16187, our clients gain a competitive edge in the market, ensuring their products are not only innovative but also safe and effective. This service is essential for any company looking to demonstrate compliance with international standards and provide superior product quality.
