Innovotech Inc has announced that its MBEC Assay has been approved as an ASTM International (ASTM) standard. The Assay was validated for testing the effectiveness of hard surface disinfectants formulated to kill biofilm. The MBEC Assay is a biofilm growth device, which allows for the rapid, reproducible and simultaneous evaluation of multiple test conditions against microorganisms in their natural, biofilm state. Currently, most disinfectants are evaluated using bacteria grown in suspension. This method enables companies to determine the efficacy of products against bacteria in their more natural state, and therefore provides a better approach for predicting the efficacy of …
