Log Reduction Calculator
Calculate antimicrobial log reduction and disinfection efficacy
Formula: Log Reduction = $\log_{10}(N_0 / N)$. Reference scale: 1-log = 90% kill, 3-log = 99.9% kill, 6-log = 99.9999% kill (complete microbial destruction).

⚠️ This calculator is for laboratory, educational, and disinfection efficacy studies. Actual microbial reduction depends heavily on contact time, disinfectant concentration, organic load, temperature, and bacterial strain resistance. Always follow certified testing standards (e.g., AOAC, ASTM).
