Achieving fda compliance requires accurate, accredited laboratory testing that regulatory bodies and marketplace platforms trust. Qalitex Laboratories provides antimicrobial testing tailored for fda compliance requirements. Antimicrobial testing evaluates a product's ability to inhibit or kill microbial organisms. Qalitex Laboratories provides validated antimicrobial activity tests for natural ingredient brands, cosmetic preservative systems, and supplement products making antimicrobial claims. Our ISO 17025 accredited methods and detailed COA reports are designed to streamline your fda compliance process.

How Antimicrobial Testing Supports FDA compliance

FDA compliance requires documented evidence of product safety and quality. Qalitex provides the specific testing and documentation needed to support your fda compliance process, including detailed COA reports, method validation documentation, and expert consultation on testing scope. Our ISO 17025 accreditation ensures your results are accepted by regulatory bodies and marketplace platforms.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)

MIC testing determines the lowest concentration of a substance that inhibits visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation. We test against a panel of standard organisms including S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans.

Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC)

The MBC is the lowest concentration that kills ≥99.9% of the initial inoculum. MBC data is required for products making bactericidal claims and for natural preservative systems in cosmetics.

Preservative Efficacy (Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing)

Per USP <51> and ISO 11930, we perform challenge testing to evaluate whether a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preservative system maintains product safety throughout its shelf life and during consumer use.
