Preservative Efficacy Testing Services
Preservatives are antimicrobial agents, so testing preservative efficacy fits well with Antimicrobial Test Laboratories' strengths. We have carried out hundreds of preservative challenge tests, ranging from simple "screens" to complex, long-term product challenge studies.
In addition to microorganisms typically used in preservative testing, Antimicrobial Test Laboratories maintains a library of problematic microorganisms, including several strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from contaminated consumer products.
If you are here to learn, be sure to read "Getting the most from preservative efficacy testing" and "Introduction to preservatives and preservative testing"
Preservative Challenge Studies for all Types of Consumer Products
- USP <51> Antimicrobial Efficacy Test (Industry Standard Method)
- Custom Antimicrobial Efficacy Test for Towelettes (USP <51> Modified for Towelette Products)
- Preservative Efficacy Screen (Antimicrobial Test Laboratories Custom Protocol)
Call Antimicrobial Test Laboratories today to discuss the "screen" we've developed for preservatives! It's faster and less expensive than USP 51, designed to give a reliable, conservative estimate of a product's resistance to microbial growth (non-food consumer products only, please).
