Infection Control

Infections are caused by pathogens which can be detected and combatted. Accugen Laboratories tests infection control products to ensure that they possess the appropriate amounts of antimicrobials to combat pathogens present. Infection control products are primarily used in hospital and medical care facilities where there is mass exposure to extremely hazardous diseases, and proper infection control equipment inhibits the spread of these diseases. Accugen performs tests to determine the abundance and identity of various microorganisms.

We test a wide range of products to ensure their efficacy and durability in the face of infectious diseases. Diseases are easily transferred, especially in medical settings. It is pertinent to utilize proper infection control equipment, and to ensure that the equipment serves its purposes. Accugen provides testing for infection control products.
