Sample the surface of a hand before and after using sanitizer and culture the bacteria. Estimate the density of bacteria on the hand based on the culture. Compare the two. Do this many times to arrive at the average rate of sanitation, as well as the variance, though they don’t report that. It’s a simple experiment.
