When screening a production environment for total counts, coliforms or pathogens using microbiological swabbing, dry tipped swabs need to be moistened prior to taking a sample to ensure any microorganisms are able to be effectively picked up. This can necessitate the operator carrying around a saline bottle that is cumbersome and prone to contamination.
The Pre-Moist Hygiene Swab from TSC overcomes this issue. The swab contains enough diluent to moisten the tip and comes in its own self-sealing tube. The user simply takes the swab sample and returns it to the tube ready for immediate testing or transport to an external laboratory.
The diluent used is a neutralising buffer, which prevents inhibition of growth by sanitisers that can also be picked up during swabbing, and complies with ISO18593.
The Pre-Moist Hygiene Swab is ready to use and is available in a pack size of 160 swabs.
