Enviroscreen Range

Surface sampling kits are provided as a single peel pack containing a sealed tube with neutralising buffer and a capped swab. The surface to be sampled can be tested using the swab dry or pre-moistened from the buffer in the tube. The sampling template can be used to provide an accurately defined 100cm² sampling area, allowing for the assessment of colony forming units per cm². Two types are provided: Pure dacron is a totally synthetic fibre. The tip is heat treated to ensure adherence to the shaft whilst in the buffer. Alginate fibre will dissolve in the buffer allowing release of the organism collected onto the swab during sampling.
