Our new 3-in-1 Swabbing

In the food industry, hygiene swabbing is crucial for detecting pathogens and hygiene indicator organisms. By swabbing equipment and surfaces in food processing areas, manufacturers can identify and address potential sources of contamination. This practice helps maintain high hygiene standards and ensures the effectiveness of cleaning protocols.

Our new 3-in-1 swab technology allows us to conduct three distinct analyses from a single swab, including:

  • Cronobacter species analysed by PCR
  • Salmonella species analysed by PCR
  • Enterobacteriaceae analysed by Tempo automated enumerative MPN method

This innovation speeds up sampling times, minimises consumable waste and optimises labour utilisation with no compromise to quality - our rigorous validation ensures the sensitivity of our 3-in-1 approach matches that of the individual methods.
