Disinfection Products
Disinfection products are critical for controlling microbial contamination and maintaining hygienic environments across healthcare, food handling, public facilities, and industrial operations. These products are widely used in surface disinfection, hand hygiene, equipment cleaning, cleanrooms (project-dependent), water-related treatment scenarios (project-dependent), and facility maintenance programs. Because efficacy and user acceptance depend on chemistry and formulation balance, small changes can affect active content, stability, odor, corrosion risk, residue, and compatibility with materials and packaging.
We provide analytical testing and materials characterization for disinfectants, sanitizers, antimicrobial concentrates, wipes/solutions (project-dependent), and investigation samples, supporting R&D, supplier qualification, incoming QC, batch release support, and root-cause investigations. Our multi-technique approach delivers clear, decision-ready results—especially for “what changed?” comparisons and unknown identification.
Why Testing Matters for Disinfection Products
Disinfection product performance and quality depend on controlling:
Active concentration and formulation consistency (label claim and performance expectations)
Impurities and byproducts (odor, discoloration, stability drift, corrosion risk)
Volatiles and fragrance-related components (project-dependent)
Ionic composition and trace metals (compatibility with surfaces/equipment, stability effects)
Residues and films left on surfaces (streaking, haze, tackiness, re-soiling risk)
Packaging and dispensing compatibility (evaporation, leaching-like concerns, clogging—project-dependent)
Our lab uses complementary methods to verify actives, identify what changed, and support corrective actions.
FAQs
Can you verify the active concentration?
Yes—method depends on the active chemistry and matrix. Provide the label claim and target limits for alignment.
Do you need a reference/control sample?
Strongly recommended. Side-by-side comparisons make conclusions faster and more defensible.
Can you identify what causes odor or discoloration?
Often yes (matrix-dependent). We typically combine volatile profiling with impurity/byproduct screening.
Can you identify precipitates or nozzle-clogging solids?
Yes. SEM-EDS + Raman/FTIR (and XRD when needed) can identify the solids and support likely origin hypotheses.
Do you test microbial efficacy?
We focus on analytical chemistry and materials characterization. Microbiological efficacy testing is only included if explicitly requested and available as part of the project scope.
