Hygiene monitoring in food facilities requires sampling techniques with excellent microbial recovery rates across a spectrum of different species. This method uses sponge swabs pre-dosed with buffer to swab a surface and then, to recover the micro flora, the sponge swabs are processed in the Stomacher 400 Circulator. This technique allows for a greater surface area to be tested than achievable with a swab head. This also means that the sponge method delivers greater sensitivity.
