Frequently Asked Questions
What is biofilm?
Biofilm is a structured community of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces, encompassing bacteria, fungi, and other microbes. This amalgamation forms a protective matrix composed of substances like proteins and polysaccharides. Biofilms can manifest in various settings, including medical equipment, pipes, and natural environments like rivers. Due to their resilience and ability to withstand antibiotics and disinfectants, biofilms pose challenges in fields such as healthcare and industry. Understanding biofilms is crucial for developing strategies to manage their impact and improve hygiene and health standards.
How do you test for antimicrobials?
Innovotech uses, customizes and creates high throughput assays to enable the growth of microorganisms including biofilms. Assays can test multiple conditions, surface coatings, media treatments and other parameters. Antimicrobials, whether surface-bound or soluble, can be tested at various time points to best mimic clinically-relevant situations. Traditional microbiology, imaging or other end points are used to evaluate results.
Do you offer customized antimicrobial testing?
