SwabCheck™ HYGIENE, pack/25

The surface is wiped with a cellulose swab and any bacteria collected are transferred via the swab into a tube containing a special medium with an indicator dye, which is then incubated. This means that SwabCheck™ ™ is about 1000 times more sensitive than the conventional ATP method. This accuracy is particularly important in the food industry.

With this simple method, it is possible to identify microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, which must not be present in any concentration in food and beverages. Characteristics:
Sterile packed and ready-to-use
The right test for each type of contamination
Qualitative and semi-quantitative hygiene control
Easy to handle
Rapid results
Long shelf-life

The requirements for “cleanliness” in industry can vary greatly depending on the
circumstances involved. However, in most areas a high level of contamination is undesirable
and can lead to production problems. Monitoring of cleaning down procedures and working
levels of contamination is simplified by the use of the Hygiene SwabCheck™ . Based on traditional microbiological test, Hygiene SwabCheck™ indicated gross contamination
at a sampling site by a simple color change from red to, Yellow, within 4 hours of inoculation
and incubation.
