STERISWAB™ is designed for sampling of critical surfaces including nozzles and equipment in sterile production units in hospitals and in the pharmaceutical industries.

They are also particularly useful for surveillance of clean and food contact surfaces in the food manufacturing industry.

STERISWABS™ have a rayon bud on a blue plastic shaft, and are pre-moistened with a sterile phosphate buffer. The moistened bud improves the recovery of any microorganisms from the test surface, even if present in low numbers.

The swabs have a 45mm breakpoint allowing them to be readily transferred to other systems.
