Biofilm Testing by Perfectus BIOMED

Perfectus Biomed are specialists in designing, running and interpreting biofilm assays.

Understanding the problem of biofilms

Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and yeast can exist as free floating planktonic entities or they can attach to a surface or one another and form a microbial biofilm.When microorganisms live beneath a biofilm they are significantly less susceptible to antimicrobial agents (and the host’s immune system).

In nature 80% of bacteria exist within a biofilm.

Standard testing focuses almost exclusively on planktonic bacteria, as such current standard testing may underestimate the quantity of active agent required to effectively remove a microbial biofilm.

What do we offer?

We will work with you to help you understand the benefits of the different models and to choose a test method that is most suitable for your product. We will test your product using either commercially available biofilm models or adapt/design a biofilm model that suites your requirement.
