ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTIVENESS TESTING (AET)

This hands on training includes evaluation of the antimicrobial effectiveness of a product, the product is inoculated with a prescribed quantity of specified microorganisms.

The common five USP AET test organisms are C. Albicans, S. Aureus, E. Coli, P. aeruginosa, and A. brasiliensis.

The effectiveness of the preservative is evaluated by comparing the initial level of microorganisms to the test sample at various time intervals over a period of 28 days at a specified temperature. Reduction of microorganisms is calculated logarithmically.The effectiveness of the preservative is evaluated by comparing the initial level of microorganisms to the test sample at various time intervals over a period of 28 days at a specified temperature.
