Product Overview

Ideal for sampling various surfaces, Copan’s SRK® system combines a swab with a rinse solution or broth in a convenient plastic tube. The environmental sampling line helps food technologists and quality control managers assess microbial presence on surfaces and equipment.

 

For verification of effective sanitation,  microbial bioburden or sterility for surface monitoring in different fields such as:

  • Manufacturing and equipment
  • Food production
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Cosmetic and Personal Care production
  • Pharmaceutical and Drug manufacturing  sites 
  • Hospital and laboratory surfaces (HIA)
  • Clean Room Manufacturing

 

Downstream Applications:

  • Direct streaking
  • Membrane Filtration
  • Qualitative and quantitative testing

 

Available in two configurations:

  • Single unit: swab attached to cap in tube with rinse solution
  • Combo sampling unit: Separate swab in peel pouch with tube containing broth or rinse solution

Features

Sanitizing Agent Inactivation

SRK® isotonic solution inactivates sanitizing agents residuals that might be present on the surface at the time of collection to give you a clear view of your surface’s real microbial status

ISO Compliance

SRK® kits are designed compliant with ISO 18593:2018, ISO 18593:2004, ISO 17604:2003, and EU directive 2001/471/E.C.

Media Choice for Enhanced Preservation

Available in a wide range of rinse solutions, liquid fill volumes, swab choices and packaging configurations for detection and quantification of microorganisms

Sterile Sampling Frames

Accurately define sample size area to facilitate the determination of the bacterial load on flat surfaces and to establish hygiene scores

The SRK® Advantage

Unlike contact plates, swabbing with SRK® products enables sampling of hard to reach and uneven surfaces where bacteria persist. Swabbing improves sample recovery and release while eliminating agar residue contact plates leave behind.

SRK® Collection and Transport System SRK Environmental Sampling in Use

A Clear Microbial Snapshot

Before sampling, it’s essential to neutralize antibacterial or antimicrobial cleansing agents on surfaces in order to paint a clear picture of any bacteria present. SRK™ Solution serves as a neutralizing agent that inactivates sanitizing agents residuals.

Sterile Sampling Templates

Sampling templates define and standardize sampling area, helping users to determine the number of CFU/cm2 counts for the validation of microbial bioburden. Available in two sizes: 4 x 5 cm (20 cm2) and 10 x 10 cm (100 cm2), sterile packaged in one or five templates per pack.

Microbiology Environmental Sampling Template

Disperse Liquids with Disposable Spreaders

Performing bacterial CFU plate counts on water, milk and other liquid samples is easier with Copan’s plastic sterile spreaders. Available in T-shape or L-shape, the spreader’s smooth, rounded surfaces prevent gouging of agar.
