(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK28647 - New Test Method for Single Tube Extraction Method (STEM) for Sporicidal Fumigants and Liquid Disinfectants


Developed by Subcommittee: E35.15 | Committee E35 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Scope

A high-throughput biodecontamination method is proposed for quantitative efficacy determination of liquid disinfectants and gaseous fumigants with porous and non-porous coupons derived from building interior surfaces. Existing standard methods are based on standard coupons, such as glass or steel, and were developed to process 6-12 samples per run. The proposed standard makes use of coupons derived from building interior surfaces and is proposed to process significantly larger sample size (100-200).
