Fungicidal Activity Tests

Summary of Disinfectant Fungicidal Activity Tests

Disinfectant fungicidal activity test is a set of key microbiological tests, examines the fungicidal capabilities of water-soluble fungicides intended for use in disinfection of inanimate objects. The fungicidal activity is efficacy against all fungi and their spores. In order to prove the fungicidal efficacy, standards require in vitro testing. The AOAC fungicidal activity of disinfectants test is a method specified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to effectively verify the fungicidal efficacy of disinfectants. For example, for laboratories and manufacturing industries, the United States Food and Drug Administration requires all areas and clean rooms to be cleaned to prove that residues and contaminants have been removed from the surface of the facility under your operating procedures. Changes in disinfection products and changes in product ingredients will affect your cleaning efficiency.

The Fungicidal Activity Tests Provided by Creative BioMart Microbe

Creative BioMart Microbe provides the high-quality AOAC fungicidal activity of disinfectants test, and can also customize experimental programs according to your chosen disinfectant, contact time, application method, surface material and related microbes.

Experimental procedure of the AOAC fungicidal activity of disinfectant test method:

• Fungi are cultured and resuspended to produce a concentrated spore suspension of approximately 5 x 10⁶ fungal spores/ml.
• Prepare dilutions of test substances in test tubes, arranged by concentration, and placed in a water bath to standardize the test temperature.
• A certain volume of fungal spore suspension is added to each test tube.
• At the designated contact time (generally less than 10 minutes), an aliquot of the solution from each inoculated disinfectant dilution is taken and placed in a growth-supporting neutralizing broth.
• Cultivate for 10 days at a temperature conducive to the growth of fungi.
• The highest dilution that kills fungal spores in 10 minutes is considered to be the highest dilution that can be expected to disinfect inanimate surfaces contaminated with pathogenic fungi.

Advantages of the AOAC Fungicidal Activity of Disinfectant Test Method:

• Based on a fitted model system, used to evaluate disinfection performance in the presence of excess liquid.
• Simple operation and short experiment period.
• Easy to control, convenient to compare between various products.
