Sterilin extends swab rinse kit range

Published: 1-Jan-1970

Sterilin, a provider of single use laboratory plastics for the lie sciences sector, has has increased the choice of Swab-Rinse Kits (SRK) used for hygiene monitoring and environmental sampling in pharmaceutical and biological laboratories.

This range of products is designed to offer increased ease of use for inspectors and quality analysts, both on-site and in the field.

The kit consists of a labelled screw cap tube with integral swab, filled with a specific volume of rinse solution. The swab tip is automatically pre-moistened in the solution, helping improve the uptake of material to be analysed. This is a proven and effective method for the detection and quantitation of microorganisms.

Facilitating routine surface monitoring in sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing environments, the SRK system offers a superior method for sampling uneven or irregular surfaces, equipment and difficult to reach sites. The SRK system is claimed to be effective in routine hygiene monitoring food contact surfaces and heavily contaminated surfaces.
