Microorganism and pathogen testing are incorporated into environmental monitoring programs to allow continual assessment of cleaning protocols at a microbial level. Target organisms and pathogens are established based on the risks presented in the environment, then a sampling and testing plan is determined based on this assessment.

These may include specific pathogens (e.g. Listeria spp in wet environments or Enterbacteriaceae in dry environments), specific spoilage organisms (e.g. yeast or mould) or indicator organisms (e.g., total plate count, total coliforms). Testing is commonly conducted through onsite testing and environmental swabs, which are then sent offsite to an external laboratory for analysis.

Identifying hazards at a microbial level helps mitigate potential food safety risks in production, allowing them to be appropriately managed to prevent product contamination, product recalls that waste time and money and ensure the safety of both the consumer and the workforce.

For the semi quantitative detection of Nitrite Reducing Bacteria.

Nitrite Reducing Bacteria (NRB) are microorganisms that have the ability to reduce nitrite which in turn generates corrosive ammonia and gases (nitrogen). Causing issues such as microbial induced corrosion (MIC) for many industrial sectors, particularly as Nitrite Reducing Bacteria can diminish nitrite corrosion inhibitors.

For the semi quantitative detection of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria.

Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are microorganisms that have the ability to produce corrosive sulphide which can, in turn cause a variety of issues for many industrial sectors – such as the corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and masonry, discoloration of metal fluids and the production of foul-smelling gases.

The RapID ONE System is a qualitative micromethod employing conventional and chromogenic substrates for the identification of medically important Enterobacteriaceae and other selected oxidase-negative, Gram-negative bacilli isolated from human clinical specimens.

    Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid Compact Plastic Pouch is for use with Compact System.

    • Use with AnaeroGen™ Compact Sealing Clip Part No. AN0005C
    • AnaeroGen Compact sachet, Part No. AN0020C, CO22Gen Compact sachet Part No. CN0020C, and sachet Part No. CD0020C

    AnaeroGen is an anaerobic atmosphere generation system for safe and speedy generation of optimal growth conditions for anaerobes, microaerophiles and CO2-dependent organisms.

    Oxoid AnaeroGen W-Zip Compact is a simple anaerobic gas generator system for the anaerobic incubation of up to four petri dishes or an identification panel.

    The Anaerobox is lightweight yet robust. The uncomplicated design makes it easy to maintain and load with a compartment for both the gas kit and also indicator, minimising the possibility of malfunction. The shape of the Anaerobox™ also makes it easy to store and will save space in the incubator over more conventional round jars with bulky lids that include valves and gauges.

    The 2.5L Anaerobox™ holds up to 12 disposable, standard petri dishes at a time or 21 x 55mm plates, the practicality of the Anerobox complements the innovative technology which makes AnaeroGen and CampyGen sachets so easy to use. The Anerobox polycarbonate lid is secured to the base by four clips that make it easy to open and close.

    Atmospheric Generation System. The 2.5L jar will hold up to 12 disposable plastic petri dishes. The jar’s polycarbonate base is secured to the lid by four spring loaded clips. The clips themselves allow self-venting in the unlikely event of a pressure build up. A carrying handle is also provided, enabling the jar to be transported safely between the bench and the incubator.

    An easy to operate vacuum relief screw permits the inlet of air to the jar, thus overcoming any difficulty which could be caused by the presence of negative pressure.

    The AnaeroJar is lightweight and robust with excellent space saving features; there are no external clamps or protruding valves and the carrying handle tucks away into the lid of the jar itself.

    AnaeroGen is a kit for use with the AnaeroJar. It produces an anaerobic atmosphere rapidly without the use of water or catalyst. No hydrogen is produced. The oxygen is absorbed rapidly without build up of pressure. The final atmosphere contains less than 1% oxygen supplemented with carbon dioxide - ideal for optimum growth of anaerobes and increased colony size.

    Ready-to-use latex agglutination test. Pre-dispensed reaction cards for quick identification. Provides visible agglutination results. Room-temperature storage and extended shelf life. DrySpot(TM) Latex ID Kits enable rapid detection and confirmation of various microbial species and serogroups. Blue latex particles, sensitised with specific antibodies, agglutinate in the presence of corresponding cell wall antigens - producing clear, visible clumps for fast and reliable results.

    Our Legionella Industrial testing kit is perfectly designed for water outlets needing repeat testing and includes everything needed to complete 5 tests. It uses our exclusive Hydrosense filter technology, enabling the isolation of bacteria through conventional plumbing connections (compatible with US ½ inch NPT and ¾ inch BPT fittings). The pipe fitting also conveniently connects directly to standard shower hoses.

    Ideal for use in higher risk areas with water sample points that require frequent monitoring, including industrial cooling systems, extensive water networks within hotels, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, and commercial premises.

    Our comprehensive and sensitive Legionella testing solution is designed for water safety. This advanced one-time-use kit uniquely detects all serogroups (1-15) of the most dangerous Legionella species, Legionella pneumophila in just 25 minutes.

    Easy-to-use test; it can be carried out by anyone in any setting and requires minimal training. Our visual instructions provide a simple step by step guide.

    Ideal for cooling towers, water storage units, decorative fountains, taps, showers, spas, swimming facilities, and more, this solution offers exceptional coverage and reliability. Its unparalleled sensitivity and comprehensive detection capabilities make it the preferred choice for high-risk areas, ensuring the highest level of Legionella detection.

    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.

    Companies can prevent problems before any complications and hazards arrive by taking a solid and proactive approach to onsite microorganism and pathogen testing. Effective testing protocols can avoid contamination by acting as an early warning before they affect products.

    Notably, having a robust environmental monitoring plan and structured process for eliminating dangers is also essential for adhering to guidelines such as the BRC Global Standards for Food Safety (BRCGS) in the food industry.
