FUNGAL RESISTANCE TESTING

The effects of fungal growth on building materials, paper, and textiles can significantly reduce the durability and lifespan of everyday items. In industry, fungal blooms can lead to costly interruptions and recalls while simultaneously posing a health and safety concern. Aspergillus species pose a significant threat to immunocompromised individuals and due to the ubiquitous nature of the organisms, it is common to see fungal lung infections develop alongside other severe illness. Respiratory aspergillus infections can lead to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) which is a severe fungal infection with a high mortality rate.

Microbac Laboratories, Inc. is prepared to analyze your antifungal performance standards and assist you in developing products with superior fungal resistance. Microbac’s Boulder laboratory maintains pure fungal cultures and performs several of the industry leading analyses to assess the antifungal properties of a variety of materials. Antifungal performance validations are valuable to customers who develop, sell, and use products which may be subject to constant attack by fungi.
