Disinfectant screening is an important step for manufacturing and approval of disinfectants. Screening helps identify the effectiveness, target microbe, minimum inhibitory concentration, and contact time. A standard screening test must be able to assess these parameters effectively over a broad range of formulations and microbes. Currently, there is no unified method to analyze disinfectants, a standard test is selected based on the application. This project aimed to identify a standard method that can be used over a broad range of microbes irrespective of disinfectant composition. Microbicidal activity of Hydrogen peroxide and Quaternary ammonium-based disinfectants was evaluated by Fluorescein diacetate (FDA), …
