SLS Select Swab Kit - Viscose Tip Premoistened in Neutralising Buffer with Blue Polystyrene Shaft

Pre-moistened Viscose Tip Swab in Neutralising Buffer, Blue Polystyrene Breakpoint (at 45mm) Shaft. Breakpoint included for convenient sample removal, transfer to smaller vials & further analysis. Supplied in tube only.

Useful in hygiene surveillance (HACCP) and environmental monitoring of most surfaces where chemical residue neutralisation is desired.

In many cases a surface will contain traces of disinfectants and/or sanitisers. Left alone and over time, these cleaning fluid traces will not kill the microorganisms, but will just prevent any growth (bacteriostatic effect). Neutralising buffer will neutralise most common disinfectants including peroxides and derivatives, phenols, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC’s), amphoterics, chlorines and associated halogens, providing end-users with total testing assurance.
