DIY HYGIENE TEST KIT
Rapid UVC General Hygiene Bacteria Test Kit

DIY Hygiene Check™
The Do-It-Yourself Hygiene Check™ shows an obvious color change from red to yellow. The time taken for this change is an indication of the level of contamination. This should be used in conjunction with known specification levels of your process or product. Rapid screening hygiene test is a same day test that will detect gross bacterial and fungal contamination of work surfaces, equipment, counters, furniture or other sampling sites.

The DIY Hygiene Check™ Principle
The surface is wiped with a cellulose swab and any bacteria collected are transferred via the swab into a tube containing a special medium with an indicator dye, which is then incubated. A single bacterium is sufficient to cause a color change. This means that DIY Hygiene Check™ is about 1000 times more sensitive than the conventional ATP method. This accuracy is particularly important in the food industry. With this simple method, it is possible to identify microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, which must not be present in any concentration in food and beverages

Features and Benefits

Handling is easy. Open the sterile pack, remove the swab and wipe it over an area of about 10 x 10 cm or 4” x 4”. Then twist off the cap of the medium tube and insert the swab so that the cap fits tightly. Label the sample tube and incubate at a temperature of 99° F or 37° C.

See Incubator Page

A change in color indicates the presence of the microorganism in question. The quicker the color change occurs, the higher the bioburden. If no color change has been observed after the maximum incubation period has elapsed, then the corresponding microorganism is not present. DIY Hygiene Check™ comes in packs of 25 pieces. Shelf-life of 12 months. Incubator above is separate.
