Swab Sampling Systems HYGIENE ♦ BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING Swabbing is one of the most widely used methods for microbiological examination of surfaces today SRK is an acronym for Swab-Rinse Kits. Swabbing is one of oldest and most widely used methods for microbiological examination of surfaces. When swabs are used together as a kit with a tube of solution to pre-moisten the swab before sampling and then to transport and rinse the swab after sample collection, it is an effective method for the detection and quantitation of microorganisms. Templates to Define Sampling Area Two sizes of sampling templates...

SRK- Rapid, Simple, Low Cost BIO-PHARMA • FOOD-HYGIENE • BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING Rapid, simple and low cost systems for assessing the microbial presence on various surfaces and equipment Each SRK Unit is typically comprised of a labelled screw cap tube with either a swab stick attached to the cap or a separate breakable stick and a tube filled with a specified volume of rinse solution. Each unit constitutes a complete collection kit. SRK Kits are available in bulk packs or individually sterile wrapped. In addition to regular collection kits, Combo Sets are also available comprising two tubes: one...

SRK - Easy to Usep Easy to Transport 1. Identify the site or surface to be sampled. When sampling flat surfaces it is advisable to use a sterile Square Sampling Template to define a spécifiée area or sample size. 10 X 10cm and í x 5cm sampling templates are available separately from Copan. 2. Unscrew the SRK swab cap and lift the swab above the solution in the tube. Press the tip of the swab against the wall of the tube to remove excess liquid. 3. When sampling flat surfaces using a square template, place the tip of the swab on the surface to be sampled in the inside top left corner of the template...

Environmental Swab Sampling Systems BIO-PHARMA • FOOD-HYGIENE • BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING Sample Collection for Bio-Pharma Collection and transport systems for microbiological monitoring of surfaces in Clean Rooms, Isolatorsand Pharmaceutical production sites SRK Pharma comprises a range of collection kits incorporating a swab and one or more tubes of media. SRK Pharma kits enable the user to collect samples at the test site and immediately inoculate onto plated media or collect and transport the sample for testing at another laboratory location. Unique features: Triple Packaging Available provides...

Environmental Sampling Templates & Spreaders BIO-PHARMA ♦ FOOD-HYGIENE ♦ BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING Sampling Templates to Define Sampling Area Two sizes of sampling templates are available: templates help define the sample size and allows the investigator to determine the number of organisms per cm2. With a defined and standardized sampling area this can be used to validate microbial bioburden in clean rooms and critical areas in which sterile drugs are exposed to the environment and in food processing plants to establish hygiene scores based on cfus per cm2. Sampling Templates - Sampling templates...
