Swab Sampler w/5mL Letheen Broth, 100/cs.

Sample collection is straightforward using the attached swab. The vial offers ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. This sampling device is decontaminated via gamma irradiation to ensure a long shelf life. The Neogen® Swab-Sampler is manufactured in the USA using globally sourced materials.

The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) methodology is the most widely recognised food safety management protocol worldwide. Sample collection products from Neogen® play a vital role in this approach, which is designed to identify potential foodborne hazards and determine their origin. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are developed to test for a broad range of potential hazards and deliver reliable results. They are engineered to safely collect, contain, and transport contents from the sampling site to the laboratory without leakage or compromising the integrity of the sample.

Letheen Broth is primarily used to neutralise the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds and to determine the phenol coefficient of cationic surfactants. It is also used in hygiene swabbing practices where neutralisation of quaternary ammonium compounds is necessary.
