Pre-Moistened Hygiene Swabs with Break-Point
Viscose tip swab · TSC Neutralising Buffer
Viscose tip swabs pre-moistened with TSC Neutralising Buffer, supplied in a tube with a break-point at 45 mm for simplified sample analysis. A convenient, straightforward way to confirm the presence of microorganisms on equipment and critical surfaces, helping protect your brand and reduce the risk of recalls.
| Buffer | TSC Neutralising Buffer |
| Break-point | 45 mm |
| Sterilisation | Gamma irradiation, SAL 10⁻⁶ |
| Shelf life | 24 months |
Benefits
- Ready to use: No peel pouch, and pre-moistened to save time and cost.
- Neutralises disinfectant residues: So traces of sanitiser don't hide microorganisms.
- Break-point included: For easy sample removal, transfer to smaller vials and further analysis.
- Safe to handle: Round-bottomed tubes with no sharp edges, and the entire sample is easily analysed.
- Ideal for HACCP and TACCP: Sterilised by gamma irradiation and made under SGS ISO 13485 certification.
Features
Why neutralising matters
Surfaces often retain traces of disinfectants and sanitisers. Left unchecked, these traces don't eliminate microorganisms, they merely prevent their growth (a bacteriostatic effect). The TSC Neutralising Buffer counters most common disinfectants, including peroxides and derivatives, phenols, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), amphoterics, chlorines and associated halogens, so you can have complete confidence in your testing.
Versatile
Thanks to the added disinfectant neutralisers, the swabs suit environmental and hygiene monitoring (HACCP), food safety (TACCP), infection control and cleaning validation.
Applications
- Environmental and hygiene monitoring (HACCP)
- Food safety (TACCP)
- Infection control
- Cleaning validation
