AI Overview
Microorganism penetration testing machines are specialized instruments designed to evaluate the barrier performance of protective materials—such as surgical gowns, drapes, and clean air suits—against bacteria and other infectious agents. These machines operate under two primary standards: Dry Microbial Penetration (ISO 22612) and Wet Microbial Penetration (ISO 22610/EN 14126), simulating different real-world infection risks.
1. Dry Microbial Penetration Resistance Tester (ISO 22612)
This machine evaluates a material's resistance to bacteria-carrying dry particles (simulating dust or skin flakes) through high-frequency vibration.
- Key Principle: A sample is secured in a container, loaded with talcum powder contaminated with Bacillus subtilis, and vibrated at high speed (e.g., 20,800 cycles/min). Particles that penetrate the material are collected on a Petri dish underneath.
- Components: Pneumatic ball shaker (vibration system), stainless steel test containers, and often a negative pressure safety cabinet (e.g., -50 Pa to -200 Pa).
- Key Specifications (e.g., GT-RA14, ZR-1070):
- Vibration Frequency: 20,800 ± 200 times/min.
- Vibration Force: 650 N.
- Work Stations: Typically 6 test positions.
2. Wet Microbial Penetration Tester (ISO 22610 / EN 14126)
This machine measures a material's resistance to penetration by infective agents when subjected to mechanical contact with contaminated liquids.
- Key Principle: The specimen is placed over an agar plate. A contaminating liquid containing bacteria is placed on top of the specimen, covered with a polyethylene film, and a "test finger" applies pressure and rotation (simulating friction).
- Components: Rotary table (typically 60±1 rpm), rotating test finger, stainless steel rings.
- Key Specifications (e.g., GT-RA15, MP18):
- Test Finger Pressure: Adjustable (typically 3 ± 0.02 N).
- Rotation Speed: 60 ± 1 RPM.
- Test Finger Movement: Reciprocating rotation from the center to the periphery of the AGAR plate.
Summary of Applications
- Medical Protective Equipment: Assessing surgical gowns, drapes, and masks.
- Cleanroom Garments: Ensuring cleanliness standards.
- Material Development: Developing new barrier fabrics.
- Compliance: Meeting EN 13795 (EU) and other international standards.
Leading manufacturers of these testers include Gester Instruments (GT-RA series), Junray (ZR-1070), and Drick Instruments (DRK-1071).
