From Bench to Building: Product Development Constraints When Translating Antimicrobial Test Methods to Real-World Use
Kayla Crouch, Microbiologist, Solenis, will explore the challenges of translating standardized antimicrobial test methods into real-life product performance for household and industry applications. Pulling from product development experience, the presentation will outline how performance criteria, test conditions, and method design can constrain formulation decisions and influence assumed product efficacy.
Discussing topics such as appropriate screening assays, simplified methods, complexity of the field, soil load limitations, and more, Kayla hopes to encourage thought that sees standardized testing as critical while being able to address the gaps in efforts to bridge them.
Takeaways:
- How to critically review antimicrobial testing methods during product development.
- How to align R&D, marketing, and regulatory expectations.
- Strategic ways to understand method data in the context of real-world applications.
