- PRINCIPLES
SwabCollect™ Buffered Peptone Water + Neutralizing Buffer, 4 mL combines a sterile swab with a plastic tube containing 4 mL of Buffered Peptone Water + Neutralizing Buffer to collect microorganisms from surfaces. The Buffered Peptone Water + Neutralizing Buffer agents effectively neutralizes residual disinfectants and sanitizers on the sampled surfaces, supporting the recovery and preservation of microorganisms during sample collection, transport, and analysis. The sponge material and moisture content ensure optimal microbial viability and stability.
- Inspect the SwabCollect™ product to ensure it is not damaged or contaminated during storage.
- Write the sample information on the pre-labeled sticker on the plastic tube containing the solution.
- Carefully open the cap of the solution tube to avoid contaminating the internal environment.
- Immerse the swab tip into the solution in the tube, ensuring the swab tip is completely moistened with the solution.
- Collect the sample by gently rubbing the swab on the area to be sampled. Be careful not to touch the swab tip with your hands.
- Insert the swab back into the tube containing the solution.
- Break off the excess swab tip to fit the tube.
- Close the plastic tube tightly to protect the sample and prevent contamination during transport.
- Transport the sample immediately to the laboratory to ensure the stability of the microorganisms, following sample storage guidelines..
- SwabCollect™ Buffered Peptone Water + Neutralizing Buffer, 4 mL is produced in a closed environment, adhering to strict hygiene regulations. The plastic tube and swab are sterilized using gamma irradiation, ensuring no microorganisms affect the quality of the sample.
BacterLab ensures the quality of each product batch of the medium by testing with ATCC reference strains.
