Sample Types
ESRAC can provide evaluation services for either laboratory studies conducted in the lab or in real world environments.
Disinfectant Testing
Disinfectant testing involves the application of the product in a controlled environment under defined parameters.
Antimicrobial Surface Testing
Antimicrobial surface testing investigates the efficacy of the antimicrobial surface to kill microorganisms following specific SOPs.
Antimicrobial Device Testing
- Disinfection Validation
- Hygiene
- Preservative Testing
Exposure factor data such as consumer product use or ventilation rates can vary by region or population group. ESRAC has experience measuring and estimating various housing-related exposure factors as well as age-specific activity and time use factors.
Services available include:
- Analysis and application of information to exposure models from a data base of child specific micro-level activity video data.
- Measurement and questionnaire methods for determining indoor air quality related exposure factors.
- Analysis of existing time use and activity pattern databases.
- Development and administration of new time use and activity pattern surveys.
We offer tiered evaluations using scientifically defensible and innovative approaches – from screening-level and baseline assessments of chemical and microbial exposure, to computationally-intensive analysis.
Our expertise lies in incorporating realistic human activity patterns, exposure factors, and environmental concentrations in simulating the uncertainty and variability in exposure scenarios.
- Scenario development and exposure reconstruction
- Deterministic and stochastic/probabilistic frameworks
- Tiered evaluations
- Uncertainty and variability quantification
- Integration of contaminant fate/transport and exposure
- Evaluation of intervention and policy scenarios
These services focus on applied research/projects that include the human behavior component. Studies are conducted in real world settings/environments made possible by the partnerships we have developed with community members.
