New easy-to-open sample bag is now supplied without perforations to ensure the sterility of the sponge is not compromised and dehydration of the broth is prevented until the bag is opened and used
Biotrace International has introduced a number of new features to its IBP HydraSponge and IBP SpongeSicle product lines for improved sample collection for microbial and pathogen testing in the food manufacturing industry.
The new easy-to-open sample bag is now supplied without perforations to ensure the sterility of the sponge is not compromised and dehydration of the broth is prevented until the bag is opened and used.
For better visibility on the production floor, the tear-away portion of the sample bag, and the gloves, are colour-coded bright blue.
Sturdier wire ties prevent bags unravelling during shipment, and the dual laminate film used resists punctures better than any other bag currently on the market.
The sample bag seals are guaranteed to be leak free, thanks to the pharmaceutical grade sealing and monitoring equipment used during their manufacturing process.
Traditional microbial testing detects the levels and types of microorganisms in the manufacturing environment and is an essential part of any HACCP regime.
Biotrace offers a choice of sponges and swabs for sampling areas aseptically, from large surfaces to equipment crevices.
These are available with a variety of broth and buffers to neutralise the effect of cleaning chemicals.
