Things To Know About Disinfectants Testing and
Its Different Tests
2
Introduction

• Disinfectants mainly used in hospitals,
  laboratories and Research Centres that must be
  tested for safety purposes. Their quality must be
  passed all the required Standard, as certain
  disinfectants lose effectiveness on standing and
  addition of organic matter. While certain Methods
  help in choosing the right intensity of
  disinfectant for use others test the
  effectiveness of disinfectant already in use.
• If the disinfectant is efficient or not, some
  techniques compare the performance with that of
  phenol whereas other methods simply state. With
  their pros and cons, there are quite a few
  methods of Disinfectants Testing. All these tests
  can be distributed to one of the following
  antiseptic tests carrier, suspension, capacity,
  practical, field, or in-use test.

Carrier Test

• These test is the oldest process. The test
  explained by Robert Koch was a carrier test. By
  submersion in a liquid culture of the test
  organism, the carrier such as a silk or catgut
  thread or a pen cylinder (a little stick) is
  contaminated. For a given exposure time, the
  carrier is then dried and is brought in contact
  with the antiseptic.
• Potentially active concentration-time
  relationships of the disinfectant are obtained,
  by multiplying the number of test concentrations
  of the disinfectant and the contact times. i.e.,
  Dilution test.

Restrication of The Carrier Tests are

• A) The number of bacteria dried on a carrier is
  hard to regulate and
• B) the existence of the bacteria on the carrier
  during drying is not
• The AOAC Use-dilution test is carrier-based.
  stainless steel cylinders are carefully cleaned,
  purify by autoclaving in a mixture of asparagine,
  cooled, and Inject with a test organism by
  engaging in one of the culture adjournment. For
  assessing the survival of the bacteria, the
  cylinders are exhausted on filter paper, dried at
  37ºC for 40 minutes, subjected to the
  use-dilution of the antiseptic for almost 10
  minutes, and cultured.

5
Suspension Test

• It is validated by subgroup whether this inoculum
  is killed or not, a test of the bacterial culture
  is prohibited into the antiseptic solution and
  after coverage.
• These tests are chosen to carrier tests as the
  bacteria are regularly subjected to the
  antiseptic. There are diverse types of suspension
  tests the qualitative suspension, phenol
  coefficient, and the quantitative suspension
  tests.
•  
• Conclusion Creating documented evidence that a
  disinfection process will regularly remove or
  inactivate known or possible pathogens from
  inanimate objects is defined as disinfection
  procedure validation.
