Evaluation of sterility and chemical characterization of medical-hospital products
Sterilization processes as well as other aseptic techniques constitute important procedures for the prevention and control of infections. In the medical-hospital area, proof of the sterility of products is an indispensable prerequisite for their sale. IPT performs tests that reveal the presence of viable microbial contaminants (bacteria and fungi) by Read more…

Analysis of chemical agents for evaluation of occupational risks
An important tool for evaluating occupational risks is monitoring the exposure of workers to chemical agents, indicating the need for intervention in the process to minimize contact and prevent occupational diseases or lesions. Monitoring in Brazil is regulated by the Department of Health and Safety of the Labor Ministry, by Read more…

Evaluation of antimicrobial activity in products
Antimicrobial properties can be incorporated into a variety of products for the following purposes: Increase the product’s service life by retarding or preventing the development of degrading microorganisms. Obtain safer products by preventing or retarding the development of microorganisms harmful to human health. To evaluate the presence of antimicrobial activity Read more…

Synthesis and development of formulations of functional materials
A functional polymer is a macromolecular material that displays interactive functions with the application medium by means of external stimuli such as temperature, light, magnetism, electric current, ions, pH or enzymes. Typical applications of these materials include the manufacture of electronic components, sealants, adhesives, laminates, paints, corrosion inhibitors, light protectors, Read more…

Development of formulations, evaluation and characterization of emulsions (complex fluids)
Complex fluids generally correspond to multiphase systems (suspensions, emulsions, gels and foams) whose main characteristic is their microheterogeneity, despite their apparent homogeneity on a macroscopic scale. Microheterogeneity, associated to a complex rheology, may result in incompatibility of certain components, which, over time, evolve into macroscopic alterations of the system (phase Read more…

Special tests on plastics, rubber and composites
In industrial plants, polymers and copolymers can be mixed to obtain polymer blends. When miscible, the properties of the blends derive from the properties of the individual polymers, although a synergistic action may occur. Depending on the application, several blends of different compositions can be prepared, resulting in polymers with Read more…

Evaluation of equipment efficiency in the reduction of microbial loads
Using procedures recommended by specific standards (ABNT – NBR 9804 – Hospital Autoclave and in the Brazilian Pharmacopeia (4th edition) – Sterility test), IPT evaluates equipment with different types of physical or chemical antimicrobial action. Physical processes evaluated include dry heat, humid heat, ultraviolet radiation and ozonization. The most important Read more…
