Microbial Aerosol Challenge Testing
Microbiological aerosol challenge testing is useful in determining the potential shelf life of a product. Microbial aerosol challenge testing evaluates the package integrity of a finished product package through exposing the packaged product to aerosolized bacteria. After the outer surface of the package has been exposed to bacteria, the contents of the package are assessed for bacterial contamination. Thus, the degree of penetration of the aerosolized bacteria through the SBS system to the product can be evaluated.
