Hand Sanitizer Testing

Alcohol-based hand rubs are called hand sanitizers, which are products that can quickly and effectively deactivate various potentially harmful microorganisms on hands, skin, and surfaces. They are designed to eliminate pathogens such as bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses to reduce the possibility of infection. The difference in the composition of hand sanitizers will lead to their different efficacy against specific pathogens. According to the product's primary functions, ingredients, and claims, hand sanitizers, gels, and rubs can be classified as cosmetics or biocide products. When classified as a cosmetic, the product must meet the requirements of the cosmetics regulations, and efficacy testing is required to support the claim.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world have formulated quality guidelines. As regulations continue to change, manufacturers need to ensure that hand sanitizers and disinfectants meet all requirements and standards. Our comprehensive testing can ensure that your products comply with current market regulations and quickly enter the global market.

Our Services

Raw material testing:

• Alcohol testing: Ethanol impurities are harmful and even toxic. In order to make the products comply with standards such as United States Pharmacopeia (USP), Federal Chemical Codex (FCC), we provide high-quality testing to detect ethanol content, methanol content and other impurities. 
• Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis: Hand sanitizer contains multiple components. We use GC to separate target volatile compounds based on boiling point. GC column with polarity selectivity separates components based on polarity.

Quality control: 

• Chemical product appearance
• Weight or volume
• Density
• pH
• "Brookfield Viscosity" test
• Additives
• Perfumes or dye
• Labelling
• Flammability

Test methods:

• Sterilization efficacy test
• Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
• Hand rub and hand wash research
• Viricidal activity versus standard and specific human viruses (including β-coronavirus models)

In vitro testing:

Develop cell models and reconstruct tissues to evaluate the impact of raw materials used and finished products. These non-animal models can efficiently assess irritation, skin sensitization and/or endocrine disrupting effects.
