Laboratory Test Results on Antibacterial
finish of NOVETTE Super Fabric

We submitted samples of our NOVETTE SUPER products to an INDEPENDENT testing laboratory.

The results clearly show that our NOVETTE SUPER wipers really do inhibit the growth of bacteria in the cloth, whilst in use.

Against S aureus          - 99.98% success rate*
Against E coli               - 99.84% success rate*
Against L mono            - 99.99% success rate*
Against S enteritidis     - 99.69% success rate*

* % reduction when compared with the number of microorganisms present at zero time.

Here are how the results were obtained:

Performed by Microbiological Consultant Services
- Bures Hamlet, Suffolk (email: Microbiocs2000@yahoo.co.uk)

Test: Assessment of Antibacterial finishes on Textile Materials:
          AATCC Test method 100-1993.

Method: A piece of the test material weighing 1g is inoculated with 1ml of buffered sodium chloride solution containing approximately 10⁵ colony forming units of one of the test bacteria. The innoculated test piece is then incubated in a sealed container at 36^o for 24 hours. At the end of the incubation period, the test piece is extracted with 9ml of a diluent containing 2% Tween 80 and plated in Tryptone Soya Agar containing Tween 80 and Lecithin as inactivators. The plates are incubated at 36^o for 48 hours and any colonies produced are counted. The number of bacteria present at zero time is calculated by performing counts on the inoculum.
