GAP has extensive experience in testing the effectiveness of novel antimicrobial agents. These include a wide variety of all natural hand sanitizers and all purpose cleaners, natural fabrics, rubber compounds, and sport equipment sterilization devices. To assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of a product, GAP employs standard published protocols such as the USP 51 Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing or the ASTM Time Kill Test. Otherwise, GAP will custom design a test protocol specific to each novel antimicrobial agent.
