Technical Service Consultants has introduced the Enviroscreen swab-sampling kit with universal neutralising buffer, for food contact and environmental surfaces.
Chlorine-based disinfectants are the main sanitisers used in the food industry.
Normally, thiosulphate is added to neutralise any chlorine disinfectant residues to obtain accurate surface counts.
TSC formulated its new neutraliser with the same broad neutralisation used in Enviroscreen products but omitted the thiosulphate.
This alteration permits its use in Petrifilm applications and allows it to be used where low odour is required.
TSC universal neutraliser kit is presented in a vacuum-sealed clear pouch for sterility and reassurance.
The neutralising fluid maintains any captured organisms without encouraging growth, allowing full factory sampling to be performed in one session.
Product samples and technical information are available upon request.
