As standard, testing is carried out in triplicate per sample. The reference sample carried is tested in a single batch. The materials to be tested are placed on an agar culture medium homogeneously inoculated with test organisms and incubated in an incubator. The microorganism-free zone (inhibition zone) around the antimicrobial material provides information about its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The test method is suitable for testing the efficacy of highly diffuse antimicrobial agents. The agar diffusion test can be used to test the antimicrobial effect of textile materials such as surgical textiles, workwear for food processing companies or textile filters. A key functional criterion in the agar diffusion test is the contact of the sample with the agar and the microorganisms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-983180&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;107261&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;112161&#8243;]<strong>Guidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>based on Pharm. 2.7.2.<\/li>\n<li>DIN 58940-3<\/li>\n<li>DIN EN 1104<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-983180&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;107261&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;255475&#8243;]We are happy to customize the test procedure according to your specifications.<br \/>\nReceive your individual offer &#8211; please send us a message to <strong><br \/>\n  <a href=\"mailto:freigabe@gfps.de\">freigabe@gfps.de<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; back_image=&#8221;112870&#8243; back_position=&#8221;center center&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;51&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_bottom_divider=&#8221;default&#8221; bottom_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-114239","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
