Manufacturers and developers need an evaluation that matches the product and the decision being made. PBR can review an enquiry for antimicrobial activity, sanitizer or disinfectant evaluation, or a specific sterility question and confirm the available laboratory scope.
Describe whether the work concerns formulation comparison, a defined performance requirement, a customer specification or another product evaluation. Different questions may require different methods and conditions. Avoid treating one laboratory result as evidence for every intended use.
Provide the product type, relevant composition, target microorganisms, concentration, contact conditions and proposed application where these are relevant to the requested assessment. Include a named method or customer requirement if one applies. PBR will confirm whether that evaluation can be supported.
Minimum inhibitory concentration testing, disinfectant efficacy evaluation and sterility evaluation answer different questions. Read the testing guide before selecting a service, and discuss the agreed approach through Product Efficacy & Sterility Evaluation.
A product performance enquiry concerns the product under specified test conditions. A facility monitoring enquiry concerns samples collected from the facility. Where both are required, define separate objectives and sample requirements rather than assuming one result answers both questions.
Send the evaluation objective, product information, relevant specification or method, target organisms where known, number of products or formulations and decision deadline. Confirm sample acceptance, quantities, handling and report scope before sending material.
Define the available laboratory evaluation for your antimicrobial product or sterility enquiry.
Discuss identification of recovered bacteria, yeasts and moulds and the detail your investigation requires.
Distinguish product evaluation objectives before selecting a laboratory test.
Understand the different questions answered by growth assessment, enumeration and microbial identification.
Contact PBR with your sample or product, testing objective and reporting needs. Confirm the appropriate laboratory scope and submission arrangements before sending material.
