The validation test is done by following methods –
A. Preparation of culture suspension
B. Recovery of Viable Microorganism
• Bacillus subtilis
• Candida albicans
2. Inoculate loop full of the culture from each slant separately into 10 ml of sterile saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride solution).
3. Transfer 1.0 ml of the solution into 9.0 ml of sterile saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride solution) to obtain a test dilution of 10-1.
4. Transfer 1.0 ml of the 10-1 dilution into 9.0 ml of sterile saline solution to give 10-2 dilution.
5. Similarly serially dilute the culture suspension to obtain dilution of 10-3, 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 and 10-8.
6. Plate 1.0 ml of the culture suspension from dilution 10-3 to 10-8 in duplicate into sterile Petri dishes.
7. Pour approximately 15-20 ml of sterile Soybean Casein Digest Agar cooled to about 45°C in each plate. Incubate at 32.5 ± 2.5°C for 24 to 48 hours.
8. Count the number of colonies on each plate and select the dilution, which gives a count of 10 to 100 cfu for recovery of viable microorganisms.
