Swabs and Samplers

Surfaces and liquids microbial monitoring can be fast and easy using Millipore’s Samplers and Swab.

There is no media mix, no agar plates to prepare, nothing to sterilize or clean.

Testing is as simple as:

• Sample
  
• Incubate
  
• Count

Results are available in 1 to 7 days depending on the application. Recoveries are equivalent to pour plates, streak plates, and open funnels filtration in some cases. The only other equipment needed is an incubator.

Monitoring liquids using Samplers

Pour liquid to test in sampler container. Filter and remove liquid. Incubate.

Monitoring surfaces using Test Kits

Swab the surface and place back into sterile buffer. Remove swab and replace by sampler or pour buffer in a sterile filtration device. Filter and incubate.
