Surface sample processing made easy

Surface sample processing made easy

It is important to sample surfaces of processing areas, equipment, and processing aids (such as compressed air, brine solutions, drain water) because foods can be contaminated during processing by pathogenic bacteria that persist in the manufacturing environment, e.g., various species of Listeria and Salmonella. Our wide array of pathogen detection products is designed to provide you with easy surface sample processing solutions that detect and enumerate these pathogens, and ultimately enable you to implement corrective actions to prevent bacterial contamination of processed foods.
