Methods of Assessing
| Method | Comment |
|---|---|
| Acetalchelryde test (gasp, pdw or film) | |
| NO oxidation (gp, pdw or film) | This is our predominant test |
| Toluene test (Gas phase - pdw or film) | We plan to use this test at some point in the future, but are concentrating on acetaldehyde initially. |
| Bacterial testing using: E. coli, S. Aureus or K. pneumoniae (gas or liquid phase) (pdw or film)? | We do not carry out these tests in-house but do have a couple of partnerships where we can have the anti-bacterial activity of products evaluated against e-coli and s.aureus |
| BLB - GEC, Philips | X-Sankyo Denki |
| Tanning lights - Philips (Cleo) | X- Cleo Performance We dont routinely use this light source, but since it is the standard light source being proposed to ISO we have the capability. |
| Visible fluorescent lights: White, cool white, warm white - GEC, Philips | X-Philips TL-D/840 Cool White Optivex Filter (400mm) |
