Description

General description

The eMcollect Cloth Swab is a specialized dry blue unwoven cloth specifically engineered for surface sampling in food safety and hygiene assessments. The swab has a honeycombed structure with dimensions 34 x 16 cm and is essential for laboratories and food industry professionals seeking reliable and effective sampling solutions. The swab is used to check humid environments, raw materials, and products (cheese rind, fish flesh), or in environments where any source of moisture should be avoided (milk powders). The swab comes in an easy-to-open blue twirl sampling bag with a large blank area for sample information.

Application

eMcollect Cloth Swab is used to sample microbes from surfaces in food processing environments, such as countertops, equipment, and utensils. This helps to determine the presence of pathogens or contaminants, ensuring compliance with food safety standards. After cleaning and disinfection, the swabs can be used to verify the effectiveness of these processes. The common pathogens that can be detected include Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp.

Features and Benefits

• Sterility Assurance: Each sampling wipe undergoes gamma-ray sterilization, with a minimum dosage of 20 kiloGrays, to ensure the wipes are free from contaminants.

• High-Quality Materials: The wipes are crafted from a combination of high-quality woven and non-woven fabrics, which are guaranteed to be free from any inhibiting substances that could interfere with microbial testing.
• User-Friendly Packaging: The wipes are packaged in a laser-cut pouch with an easy opening mechanism and resealable capabilities, which help maintain sample integrity throughout transport. The pouch is also designed for efficient lab blending, ensuring that the samples can be processed without contamination.
• Versatile and Adaptable: These sampling wipes are suitable for use on a variety of surfaces, including frozen and irregularly shaped items. Their flexible structure allows for effective sampling in tight spaces, making them a versatile tool for food safety professionals.
• Visual Identification: The blue color of the wipes and pouches aids in quick identification of any foreign bodies during inspections, as the unnatural color stands out against most surfaces.
