Tap cleaning To assess tap cleaning agent and method efficacy: (1) a protocol was developed; (2) a system was built to group biofilms in taps and one trial run was completed; (3) four data collection runs, one for each of the four cleaning agents, were completed; and (4) data were analyzed. Through partner discussions, a […] More
