BioScience Laboratories has been closely involved in the development and refinement of the Healthcare personnel handwash & Healthcare personnel handrub testing methods used to evaluate healthcare personnel handwash/handrub products.
The general concept of the test is to determine how effectively handwash and handrub products can eliminate transient, contaminative, bacteria from the hands. Serratia marcescens or Escherichia coli, generally serves in the role of "transient, contaminative bacteria," and broth suspensions of the organisms are applied to the hands of the subjects, after which test product is applied. (Other organisms may be used as per sponsor’s request.)
Along with testing the products ability to eliminate the challenge microorganism, a skin irritation assessment will evaluate effect of the product on the subjects skin.
