JIS Z 2801

Japanese Industrial Standard test for Antimicrobial Activity and Efficacy

Test Purpose
The purpose of this microbiology lab test is to produce data that provides basic information on the rate-of-kill of a surface-bound antimicrobial agent. This method may also be adapted to testing other materials.

Test Summary
An aliquot of test organism is exposed to a surface-bound antimicrobial agent and covered with a cover slip. After exposure, the material is neutralized and assayed quantitatively for survivors. Appropriate culture purity, sterility, inoculum count, stainless steel control and neutralization controls are performed.

Japanese Industrial Standard test for Antimicrobial Activity and Efficacy – Modified for Virus Testing

Test Purpose
The purpose of this modified microbiology lab test is to produce data that provides basic information on the rate-of-kill of a surface-bound antimicrobial agent against viruses. This method may also be adapted to testing other materials.

Test Summary
An aliquot of virus is exposed to a surface-bound antimicrobial agent and covered with a cover slip. After exposure, the material is neutralized and assayed quantitatively for the presence of the test virus. Appropriate virus, test substance cytotoxicity, and neutralization controls are run concurrently.
