Tween 80.
7.2.7 In II test tube (5 min contact time), inoculate 1 ml of cultures suspension having more than
10000 cfu and allow it to stand for 5 minutes with intermediate shaking.
7.2.8 After 5 min carry out serial dilution in such a way to get less than 100 cfu count on a filter
paper.
7.2.9 Filter the dilution (giving less than 100 cfu) through 0.45 µ membrane filter by applying
Vaccum .Rinse the filter paper twice with the 100 ml diluent.

Tween 80.
7.2.11 Repeat the above procedure for 10 minutes
7.2.12 Repeat the above procedure for different culture suspension as required.
7.2.13 For bacterial cultures incubate the plates at 30-35° C for 3-5 days and fungal culture at 20-25
°C for 5-7 days.
7.2.14 Count the actual number of inoculated cfu in the diluent as above.
7.2.15 Negative Control: Carry out negative control by filtering the serial diluent through 0.45 µ
membrane filter paper and incubate the plate at 30-35°C for 3-5 days.
7.3.1.2 Aseptically inoculate evenly 1 ml (having more than 10000 cfu) with any one of the
culture suspension inside the marked 25 cm2 surface area of the material.
7.3.1.3 Under Laminar Air flow (LAF), dry the inoculated culture suspension material.
7.3.1.4 After completion of time period, inoculate the material in to sterile tube or beaker
containing sterile diluent and aseptically wipe the surface of material with sterile swab
gently to recover the organisms.
7.3.1.5 Shake the tube gently and carry out serial dilution in such a way to get less than 100
cfu count on a filter paper.
7.3.1.6 Filter the dilution (giving less than 100 cfu) through 0.45 µ membrane filter by
applying Vaccum .Rinse the filter paper twice with the 100 ml diluent.
7.3.1.7 Aseptically transfer the membrane on the surface of sterile Soyabean casein Digest
Agar with Tween 80.
7.3.1.8 For bacterial cultures incubate the plates at 30-35° C for 3-5 days and fungal culture at

7.4.11 Aseptically transfer the membrane on the surface of sterile Soyabean casein Digest Agar with
Tween 80.
7.4.12 For bacterial cultures incubate the plates at 30-35° C for 3-5 days and fungal culture at 20-25
°C for 5-7 days.

7.4.14 Repeat the above procedure for other remaining organisms and surfaces as mentioned in
Table-1based on the requirement.
7.4.15 Negative Control
7.4.15.1Take 50 -100 cm2 sterile surface area of above mentioned (Table-1) material surface
under LAF and mark 25 cm2 on it.
7.4.15.2Aseptically inoculate evenly 1 ml of sterile diluent inside the marked 25 cm2 surface
area of the material.
7.4.15.3Under Laminar Air flow (LAF), dry the inoculated diluent on the surface of the
material.
7.4.15.4After drying, aseptically wipe the surface of material with sterile swab and transfer it
into 10 ml diluent.
7.4.15.5Filter the diluent through 0.45 µ membrane filter by applying Vaccum .Rinse the
membrane filter twice with the 100 ml diluent.
7.4.15.6Aseptically transfer the membrane on the surface of sterile Soyabean casein Digest
Agar with Tween 80.
7.4.15.7Incubate the plate at 30-35°C for 3-5 days.
7.4.15.8Repeat the above procedure for other remaining surfaces as mentioned in Table- I
based on the requirement.
7.4.15.9 Acceptance Criteria: No growth should observed after incubation.
For example, if 12500 cfu of microorganisms are inoculated and recovered 05 cfu after disinfectant
application, the calculation shall be = log (12500) – log (5)
= 4.09 – 0.69
= 3.94 log reduction
8.8.2.1 Total aerobic microbial count on the plate should not be more than 50 cfu/plate.
