title: Comparison of stainless steel penicylinders used in disinfectant testing.
abstract: Two brands of stainless steel penicylinders, S&L Metal Products and Fisher Scientific, were simultaneously tested to determine if they provide comparable results when used in the AOAC use-dilution method of disinfectant testing. Results showed consistently more positive tubes for the Fisher brand of penicylinders than for the S&L, regardless of the surface finish of the test cylinders.
