The POLYWIPE™ sponge swab range is a sterile pre-moistened blue sponge swab, ready to use and highly effective for the microbial surface sampling of a wide variety of surfaces in the food industry and infection prevention & control.

Our comprehensive and sensitive Legionella swab test is designed for testing surfaces and biofilm. The process involves collecting a sample through swabbing areas where biofilm accumulates e.g. shower heads, taps, storage tanks, pipework and the water edge of pools or hot tubs.

Biofilm is the common habitat for Legionella pneumophila. This slimy substance protects this bacterium from heat or chemical treatments.

This method is highly recommended for evaluating surfaces in environments such as cooling towers, water tanks, sinks, showers, hot tubs, misters, sprinklers, air washers, and humidifiers, among others.

MWE’s ISOLATION TRANSWABS® are a unique, convenient and cost-effective range of self-contained environmental sampling swabs.

The kits includes a swab for sampling the surface, which is then placed in the provided tube of coloured gel medium, which in turn changes colour if positive.

• COLIFORM ISOLATION TRANSWAB®: Result can be available within 24 hrs (max 48 hrs) Colour change for positive: PURPLE to YELLOW
• HYGIENE ISOLATION TRANSWAB®: Similar to ISOLATION TRANSWAB® but used as indicator for gross microbial contamination. Result available within 8 -12 hrs Colour change for positive: RED to YELLOW
• LISTERIA ISOLATION TRANSWAB®: Result can be available within 24 hrs (max 48 hrs) Colour change for positive: STRAW to BLACK
• SALMONELLA ISOLATION TRANSWAB®: Result can be available within 24 hrs (max 48 hrs) Colour change for positive: RED to BLACK

Automatic screening of more than 50 antibiotics in milk, in a single assay.

Eclipse Farm 4G & Comet4 is the first system on the market that allows to carry out an automatic antibiotic screening test and share the results in real-time. Just add a drop of milk into the test tube and Comet4 will automatically run the test in less than 2.5 hours. Regardless of where you are, you will receive the results on your smartphone, your cloud account or your email, always in real-time.

Comet32 performs the Eclipse 4G antibiotic screening assay automatically and interprets the results objectively. Just apply a drop of milk to the Eclipse test and Comet32 will incubate and stop the assay automatically; interpreting and saving the results in the device. Comet32 helps you to standardise the antibiotics assay and to manage samples, using four different sets (1-8 samples), individually or together.

The Eclipse test is based on the growth inhibition of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterium. In a specific culture medium and under suitable conditions, the spores of this bacterium germinate and multiply, acidifying the medium, producing a colour change in the culture medium from blue to yellow. If the milk sample contains an antimicrobial concentration higher than the test detection limit, the bacterial growth is inhibited and therefore the colour change of the medium will not occur.

Scope: simultaneous detection of 50 antibiotics from 8 different families in milk (beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, macrolides, aminoglycosides, lincosamides, anasamycins and sulfones)

Assay-time: 2h 30 minutes

Manual assay: one-stage incubation at 63∞C for approximately 2.5h and visual reading

Combine with Zeulab incubator readers for automated workflow

The Hygiena Sponge'n Bag™ is a sterile sampling bag with biocide-free polyurethane sponge designed for environmental surface sampling up to 144 square inches. Healthcare and food safety professionals rely on this device for accurate microbial recovery, using it as Listeria sponges in pathogen detection programs. Pre-moistened with 10 mL of diluent (BPW, Letheen, or Neutralizing Buffer), it neutralizes residual sanitizers effectively. The leak-proof transport bag maintains sample integrity from collection to laboratory. Compatible with BAX® System PCR detection and MicroSnap® rapid enumeration methods for pathogen screening and indicator organism testing.
