PBR Laboratories can discuss testing enquiries involving antimicrobial activity, sanitizers and disinfectants. Share your product, intended use and evaluation objective so the appropriate laboratory scope can be confirmed.
Provide the product formulation or relevant composition, target microorganisms, intended use and required test objective. PBR will confirm whether the requested evaluation can be supported and what method and conditions apply.
Testing needs depend on the product, its intended application and the claim being evaluated. Send the proposed use conditions, relevant specification and required test method so PBR can review suitability before quoting.
For a sterility enquiry, provide the product type, intended use and applicable specification or method. Confirm the available service and its scope with PBR before submitting samples. Microbial counts, antimicrobial activity and sterility evaluation address different questions and are not interchangeable.
Agree the product and batch information, method, target organisms, test conditions, reporting requirements and sample needs with PBR. Explain the decision the report must support and any relevant customer or regulatory requirements.
Interpret results within the agreed method and test conditions. A laboratory report does not by itself guarantee product sterility, registration approval or performance in every use condition.
No. The test objective and conditions differ. Discuss the intended product use and required evaluation before selecting a method.
A microbial count and a sterility evaluation are different assessments. Confirm the appropriate method and scope for the specific product and objective.
Discuss identification of recovered bacteria, yeasts and moulds and the detail your investigation requires.
Discuss applicable product-specific USP microbiology requirements.
Distinguish product evaluation objectives before selecting a laboratory test.
Understand the different questions answered by growth assessment, enumeration and microbial identification.
Plan product evaluation around development objectives, intended use and reporting needs.
Contact PBR with your sample or product, testing objective and reporting needs. Confirm the appropriate laboratory scope and submission arrangements before sending material.
