Research project

The Standard Biofilm: A Reference Measurement System to Support Routine Manipulation, Innovation and Application

Project overview

Methods and materials to support the standardisation of biofilm analysis which are lacking in all industrial sectors where biofilms are important. This project aims to address this need by developing methods to produce and characterise reference materials to validate biofilm analysis and technical approaches used in various industrial sectors.
