In general terms, fungicidal activity refers to substances that kill pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi. Chemicals used for places where disease-causing microorganisms are present or likely to be found, or for equipment and materials that are at risk of contamination are generally called disinfectants. Based on this definition, the decision on the disinfectant to be used also depends on certain factors: the type of microorganism, the pollution status of the environment, the structure of the surfaces and equipment, and the chemical structure of the disinfectant to be used.
In tests that determine the fungicidal activity of detergents to be used against pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, the following measures are taken into account: whether the microorganism remains alive, how much of it has died, and what concentration of disinfectant is effective.
In fungicidal activity tests, disinfectant dilution liquids, selected microorganism strains and densities, contact times, and spoilage and organic substances in the environment may vary depending on the method chosen. Among these tests, there are differences in the types of microorganisms, growth media, dilution liquids, and incubation temperatures and times.
Suspension tests, conducted to determine the basic fungicidal activity of the disinfectant, identify the effective concentration of the disinfectant and the minimum contact time with microorganisms.
Here are a few standards considered in fungicidal activity tests:
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also fungicidal activity testing services.
