New, Now, and in the Know at ATS Labs
Treated Articles

ATS Labs has the capabilities for testing treated articles to determine the antimicrobial performance of hard surfaces such as plastics and alloys, or porous materials such as fabrics.

We use the following standard test methods or we can develop a new method for your novel material:

l   Zone of Inhibition Test

l   Parallel Streak Method (AATCC 147)

l   Mildew and Rot Resistance of Textile Materials (AATCC 30 Test III)

l   Assessment of Antimicrobial Finishes on Textile (AATCC 100)

l   Antimicrobial Activity of Immobilized Agents (ASTM E2149)

l   Antimicrobial Activity in Polymeric/Hydrophobic Materials (ASTM E2180)

l   Activity of Surface-Bound Antimicrobial Agents (JIS Z 2801)

l   Efficacy of Copper Alloy Surfaces as a Sanitizer

l   Residual Self-Sanitizing Activity of Copper Alloy Surfaces

     - EPA.gov/oppad001/pdf_files/test_meth_residual_surfaces.pdf

l   Continuous Reduction of Bacteria on Copper Alloy Surfaces
