BS EN 1650-2019 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics – Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of fungicidal or yeasticidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas – Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1). The apparatus shall have a filter holder oral least 50 ml volume. It shall be suitable for use with filters of diameter 47 mm to 50mm and 045 pm pore size for steflhization of hard water (5.2.2.7). bovine albumin (5.228.2 and 5.2.2.83) and if the membrane illtration method Is used (5.5.3). The vacuum source used shall give an even fihtratiusi flow rate. In order to obtain a uniform distribution o(the microorganisms over the membrane and to prevent overlong filtration, the device shall be set so as to obtain th filtration of 100 ml of rinsing liquid in 20 s to 40s. 53.2.8 Relrigerator. capable of being controlled at 2 C toO C. 53.2.9 Graduated pipette’s, of nominal capacities 10 ml and I ml and 0.1 ml. or calibrated automatic pipettes. 5.3.2.10 Prt,1 dishes.

After 42 h to 48 h. prepare a second subculture from the first subculture In the same way and incubate for 42 h to 48 h. From this second subculture, a third subculture may be produced in the same way. The second and (If produced) third subcultures are the working cultures. If it is not possible to prepare the second subculture on a particular day, a 72 h subculture may be...
