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.
