The video describes a protocol for testing the antimicrobial efficacy of nanoparticles-treated fabrics. It outlines preparing microbial cultures, spiking fabric swatches, conducting control experiments, and analyzing colony counts to calculate microbial log reduction. The results highlight the effectiveness of thymol-encapsulated chitosan nanoparticles against specific pathogens and their decreased efficacy after wash cycles.

Quantitative Screening of Nanoparticle-Treated Fabric: The Log Reduction Method

<p class="jove_content">Antimicrobial lab coats prevent the cross-contamination of pathogen accumulation and accidental bio-spills. Here, we describe the protocol for developing a skin-friendly antimicrobial fabric using nano-herbal encapsulation and modified standard tests to precisely evaluate the efficacy and suitability for typical usage of the lab coat.</p>
