Quick Swab

The swabs can be wet or dry to sample surfaces and quickly deliver 1 mL of sample onto a Neogen® Petrifilm® Plate. They help improve cost-effectiveness per swab test by reducing the labour required to prepare, collect, and plate the sample. There is no need to prepare neutralising diluents or use a pipette to apply the sample to the plate or test. The swab offers a convenient and efficient means of sample collection. This sampling device is decontaminated via gamma irradiation to ensure a long shelf life. The Neogen® Quick Swab is manufactured in the USA using globally sourced materials.

The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) methodology is the world’s most widely recognised food safety management protocol. Sample collection products from Neogen® are a key element of this approach, designed to identify potential food-borne hazards and determine their source. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are developed to test for possible risks and deliver accurate results. They are engineered to safely collect, contain, and secure contents from the collection site to the laboratory without leaking or compromising the sample.

Letheen Broth is primarily used to neutralise the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds. It is commonly used in hygiene swabbing practices where neutralisation of these compounds is required.
