Time Kill Studies

Custom-Designed

What is a Time Kill Study?

Time Kill studies are in vitro studies used to evaluate an antimicrobial agent – specifically changes to microorganism population after time-dependent exposure to that agent. Typical time exposure is 15, 30 and/or 60 seconds, but can extend to minutes or even hours. These studies can be performed to assess a wide range of products such as hand rubs (hand sanitizers) and anti-bacterial/anti-fungal oral rinses.

What is the Q Offer?

ASTM, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, has published standard guides for the performance of Time-Kill studies. Although the principles of each may be the same (inoculation, neutralization, comparison to the known organism population), there are allowances for a custom study design where Q Labs can help.

Parameters such as antimicrobial test product concentration, product temperature, organism selection and exposure duration are all aspects that may be tailored to the intended use of the test material. Q Labs understands the importance of offering customized testing options tailored to your unique needs.

Why Choose Q Labs?

Many labs which perform time kill studies do not typically prioritize this testing and may not have the design experts on staff to properly conduct these studies. As a result, customers typically see longer lead times and a higher potential for mistakes.

At Q Labs, we have the right experts on staff at a centralized campus as well as the ability to execute the proper studies quickly and efficiently according to each customer’s requirements.
