- INTENDED USE
SwabCollect™ Maximum Recovery Diluent, 4 mL is designed for microbiological sampling from surfaces in food processing, healthcare, and pharmaceutical environments. The primary purpose of this product is to support the collection of microbial samples from large, easily accessible surfaces and surrounding areas within food production facilities.
- PRINCIPLES
SwabCollect™ Maximum Recovery Diluent, 4 mL combines a sterile swab with a plastic tube containing 4 mL of Maximum Recovery Diluent to collect microorganisms from surfaces. Maximum Recovery Diluent is of isotonic strength to ensure recovery of organisms from various sources and combines the protective effect of peptone in the diluent with the osmotic support of physiological saline and protects microorganisms throughout transport and analysis. Maximum Recovery Diluent combines protective effect of Peptone with the osmotic balance of physiological saline. The low concentration of Peptone helps to maintain the organisms for 1 – 2 hours of dilution without multiplication. The isotonic property of the diluent ensures the recovery of organisms from various sources, which may be vulnerable in distilled water or aqueous suspensions.
- 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™ Maximum Recovery Diluent, 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.
| Reference strains | Incubation conditions | Expected results |
| Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (WDCM 00013) | 35 – 37°C for 18 – 24 hours | Good growth |
| Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (WDCM 00034) | Good growth |
