Mildew Fungistatic Test Method
Test Purpose
The purpose of this microbiology
lab test is to demonstrate
fungistatic effectiveness of a
client's product intended for
use to control, prevent, or
inhibit the growth of fungi
which cause mildew on various
hard surfaces to comply with the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and other regulatory
agency requirements. This test
is also easily modified to
address the treatment of various
surfaces.
Test Summary
Sterile ceramic tiles and other
surfaces are treated with the
test substance and allowed until
dry. The tiles are then sprayed
with a spore suspension of
mildew causing organisms and
incubated at high humidity.
After incubation, the tiles are
visually examined for the
presence of test organisms.
