Many test methods are available for testing various customers' products with different bacterial and virus strains. This EN 1276 is one of the bacterial testing methods that help to find the bacterial activity on various chemical products like antiseptics and disinfectants. This test is necessary because these chemical components are for medical use, so the users should be confident. So, labs conduct these tests on the products to check the ability of the products against the bacteria. And there are many other tests also available for different products.
Antibacterial testing methods Laboratories have various antibacterial testing methods for plastic, textile materials, and even cleaning agents like detergents. Each antibacterial testing method uses real-life bacteria, which helps to develop the bacterias on the sample products. The bacterias available in this test method are some bacterial organisms like Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Enterococcus, and Escherichia coli. Several antibacterial testing methods like ASTME 2149, JIS L 1902, JIS Z 2801, AATCC- 100 are available for various products. These test methods are for different products, and each test method will have a unique testing process to find the output. Similarly, many antiviral testing methods are available for various products, which works equally to antibacterial testing. Testing process The test process of this EN 1276 contains various steps, and each step of the test has a unique rule for processing the test correctly. While performing these antibacterial and antiviral tests, the rules are essential because a small mistake in regulations may change the entire test result. It can also lead to the destruction of samples and strains. This test consists of 4 steps Sample preparation Incubation Neutralization Process Sample preparation The test starts in this process with a clean test tube, and in that test tube, they add 1ml of interfering substance and 1ml of test suspension. It is the first set of sample preparation, and in the second set, they pour 8 ml of customer product into the existing solutions. All these are the sample preparation process, and the name of this test tube is A. Incubation & Neutralization Test tube A will be under incubation for a specific time at a particular temperature in the incubation process. The time and temperature will differ as per the product. In the Neutralization process, test tube B will get 1 ml of test tube A solution and 8 ml of neutralizer along with 1 ml of water. Final Process In this process, the final test tube B is under testing and from that test tube, they take 1ml for each agar plate. Then the process will continue in 2 agar plates. Then the agar plates are under incubation for creating the final output. These are the test method of EN 1276. After completing all the steps in the test method, the final result will explain the detail about the ability of the antiseptics and disinfectants. Conclusion These are the testing method of EN 1276, and this test method is the best option for testing chemical materials like antiseptics and disinfectants. All these antibacterial and antiviral testing methods will help to find the abilities of all the customer products.
