ASTM E2196-02
Historical Standard: ASTM E2196-02 Standard Test Method for Quantification of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Grown with Shear and Continuous Flow Using a Rotating Disk Reactor
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E2196
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is used for growing a repeatable Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a continuously stirred flow reactor. In addition, the test method describes how to sample and analyze biofilm for viable cells.
1.2 In this test method, biofilm population density is recorded as log colony forming units per surface area.
1.3 Basic microbiology training is required to perform this test method. This standard does not claim to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
