Study Results

  • A bar chart showing 3M Instant Microbe Removing Wipes increased microbe removal performance compared to a standard disposable wipe.

    Increased microbe removal.

    A third-party study conducted during development evaluated the removal of bacteria from a surface. Using a standard wipe moistened with water, an average of 71,000 bacteria remained on the glass slide surface. Using the 3M™ Instant Microbe Removing Wipes moistened with water, an average of eight bacteria remained on the surface.

  • A bar chart showing 3M Instant Microbe Removing Wipes decreased microbe transfer performance compared to a standard disposable wipe.

    Decreased microbe transfer.

    A 3M study evaluated microbe transfer from wipes to a surface. The standard disposable wipe transferred an average of 22,000 Clostridium sporogenes (2.2%) to the surface, while the 3M™ Instant Microbe Removing Wipes transferred an average of 600 Clostridium sporogenes (0.06%) to the surface.
