„Neutralizer toxicity (NT) ratios were determined between recovery of viable microorganisms incubated for a short period in peptone, and in the neutralizing medium without the biocide.”
„The second comparison is Neutralizer Toxicity (NT). This aspect of neutralization is determined by comparing survivors in the neutralizing medium without the biocide with the viability (growth) control.”
„Two separate characteristics must be assessed in an evaluation of a potential neutralizer or neutralization procedure. The first is the toxicity of the neutralizer. The second characteristic is the efficacy of that chemical or treatment in neutralizing the target biocide for the challenge organism of interest. The neutralizer toxicity is an important consideration as growth inhibition introduced by the intended neutralizer will affect the recovery of microorganisms.”
„The neutralization procedure must be examined, not just the solution.”
