Disinfectant efficacy studies are crucial for ensuring a sterile manufacturing environment in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. These studies evaluate the ability of chosen disinfectants to effectively kill microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and spores that may be present on facility surfaces. Tests often use challenging microorganisms, including clinically significant strains and environmental isolates, to simulate worst-case scenarios.
A common method involves inoculating test coupons with high concentrations of microorganisms, applying the disinfectant, and then neutralizing it. The reduction in microbial population is then compared to a control. This rigorous approach ensures that the selected disinfectants can effectively eliminate microorganisms under demanding conditions, even though actual cleaning procedures may involve mechanical action like wiping, and typical microbial loads in cleanrooms are usually lower.
Join us in this webinar as we discuss best practices for conducting robust disinfectant efficacy studies and learn how to overcome common hurdles to achieve reliable and meaningful results.
