Antibacterial Testing Laboratory
With thorough testing, we make sure your products meet the highest industry standards.
What is Antibacterial Testing ?
Antibacterial testing is a crucial requirement for industries betrothed in the development of antibacterial products. Basically, microbiological assessment is helpful to validate products for their antimicrobial efficacy, shelf life, and presence of potential contamination factors.
Antimicrobial testing is also implied to monitor the microbiological quality of non – sterile products.
With an extensive experience in executing microbiological testing, MIS offers an array of services towards varied industries globally such as textiles, disinfectants, coatings, and cosmetics. Our antibacterial testing services are tailored to our client’s individual needs.
We execute and perform antibacterial testing services for following industries –
