Seward will be highlighting the latest additions to its ranges on booth #643 of the International Association for Food Protection Annual Meeting (IAFP 2014)in Indianapolis from 3-6 August.
The company’s closure bag is designed for sample collection and short term sample storage, as well as sample incubation for pathogen testing and pre-enrichment of food samples.
Available in 80 mL and 400 mL formats, the robust bag range has a wire mesh band at the top of each bag to enable easy opening and tight closure for storage in a Seward bag rack or incubator.
All Stomacher blender bags are irradiated sterile, with a certificate of irradiation available if required, and made from high quality food grade LDPE granule extruded to 65µM film thickness.
This ensures the bags will withstand extensive blending and with no risk of cross-contamination between samples.
To provide a reusable alternative to closure bags and for customers with a lower sample throughput, Seward has introduced bag clips for its standard bags.
The clip is used externally and easily cleaned with most disinfectants to prevent contamination risk.
Standard bags are available in 80 mL, 400 mL and 3.5 L formats compatible for use with all lab blenders and homogenisers, including Seward’s own Stomache 80 Biomaster and microBiomaster, Stomacher 400 Classic and Circulator blenders, and the Stomacher 3500 series.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors to our booth at IAFP and would be very happy to advise them on all areas of sample preparation for food safety analyses,” said Gary Ross, chief executive officer of Seward Laboratory Systems.
“Our extensive product range can meet a variety of needs in microbiological testing and includes our world renowned Stomacher400 paddle blender in which over 8 million food samples a day are prepared globally.”
