ASTM E2149 Test

• The ASTM E2149 is utilized for 'Deciding the
  Antimicrobial Activity of Immobilized
  Antimicrobial Agents Under Dynamic Contact
  Conditions' is a delicate test, frequently used
  to quantify the antimicrobial movement of
  non-draining, sporadically molded or hydrophobic
  surfaces.
• ASTM E2149 is frequently alluded to as the "shake
  jar test" and is suggested for testing an
  antimicrobial added substance like fabric, paper,
  etc. ASTM E2149 is utilized for materials where
  the antimicrobial treatment is immobilized and
  doesn't relocate into the general climate.

What bacteria can be tested?

Organisms typically used in this method
Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538P), Klebsiella
pneumoniae (ATCC 4352) and Escherichia coli (ATCC
8739).

Every one of the examples are shaken in unique
shake cups in a wrist activity shaker to
guarantee great contact between the microbes and
the treated fiber, texture, or other substrate by
consistent disturbance of the test example in a
bacterial suspension during the trial.
