- Phase A Phase A
- Both phases were adjusted to between pH 5.5 and 6.5 with buffer solutions.
- a test solution was prepared by mixing Phases A and
- the inoculated solution was incubated at room temperature. Samples were taken at regular intervals (viz at 0, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after mixing) and subjected to serial dilution and agar plating in known manner (normal aseptic technique being used throughout) to determine the numbers of any surviving organisms .
- Comparative Test H The procedure of Comparative Test A above was repeated with the modifications that the test and control solutions were inoculated with Aspergillus niger rather than Pseudomonas aeruginosa and that the storage times were varied. Results are set out in Table 7. Comparative Test H
- Both phases were adjusted to between pH 5.5 and 6.5 with buffer solutions.
- Test solutions were prepared by mixing Phases A and
- test solutions were then stored at room temperature for 48 hours.
- the inoculated solution was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes serially diluted and agar plated to determine the numbers of any surviving organisms.
- pH can be chosen so as to kill a particular micro-organism selectively. For example, at pH 8 only E.coli is killed. Broad spectrum anti-microbial activity is obtained when the pH is around 4 in the above tests .

- the reservoirs 2,3 are substantially sealed so that no leakage of contents can occur from one to the other. For convenience they are welded together at one point by a polythene web 6 which is continuous with the reservoir walls 4,5.
- the walls of the reservoirs are independently deformable such that it is possible to deform one reservoir, for example by "squeezing", without deforming the other, if desired.
- the lower end of the reservoirs provide a base 7 to allow the packaging to be rested in an upright position.
- the upper ends of the reservoirs 2,3 are constricted to form a neck 8 which is blocked by a neck-piece 9 made of stiff non-resilient polyethylene.
- the neck 8 and neck ⁇ piece 9 support a bulbous incubation chamber 10.
- the incubation chamber 10 is constricted at its upper end to provide a second neck 11 which is threaded in the manner of a screw-top bottle neck to connect with a screw-cap 12 which may be used to close off the packaging when not in use.
- Polythene tubes 13,14 extend substantially from the bases of the two reservoirs 2,3 respectively, through holes in the neck-piece 9, with which they form an interference fit, to the base of the incubation chamber 10.
- the tubes 13,14 are narrow enough to prevent significant leakage of the contents of the reservoirs 2,3 into the incubation chamber 10 during normal storage. Such leakage as may occur is contained by the cap 12. However, when the cap 12 is removed and one or both of the reservoir walls is deformed, for example by "squeezing", a portion of the reservoir contents is forced up the tube 13 or 14 by the pressure created and into the incubation chamber 10.
- controlled mixing of the reservoir contents is achieved by squeezing each of the reservoirs in turn and/or simultaneously by roughly equal amounts to introduce equal quantities of the reservoir solutions into the incubation chamber 10.
- Indicia 15 are provided on the walls of the incubation chamber 10 to assist in measuring the quanitities to be mixed.
- the walls of the incubation chamber are made from transport/translucent polyethylene to assist in the measuring process but this is, not essential and it will be appreciated that opaque plastics materials may be used if desired.
- the cap 12 may then be replaced and the apparatus 1 may be shaken gently to complete the mixing process. The resulting mixture is left to incubate for the desired period, typically from 5 to 10 minutes.
- the cap 12 After incubation the cap 12 is removed and the incubated anti-microbial mixture is used in the desired manner, by application to the feet or other areas affected by so-called "athlete's foot".
- the packaging could house any of the other Examples given above and/or numerous variants thereof.
- the reservoirs may be made of correspondingly unequal size and corresponding modifications may be made to the other parts of the apparatus as appropriate.
- the reservoir housing component A may be squeezed four times as often as the reservoir housing component B (as in Example 3 above) , until the desired quantity of mixture has been generated in the incubation chamber 10.
- the indicia 15 may be used to measure the required proportions.
- Instructions for mixing the components in the appropriate proportions will normally be supplied with the apparatus, preferably by printing onto the packaging itself.
