Neogen® environmental scrub sampler stick combines an innovative design and high-tech materials into a sampling device. The multilayered non-woven composite material is designed for pickup, release, and absorbency and maintains integrity when sampling rough areas. It incorporates scrub dot technology to disrupt biofilm and enhance sample collection. Hydrated with the proprietary Neogen® wide spectrum neutraliser which offers effective neutralising capability for a variety of sanitisers used in the food and beverage industries, including quats, high acid cleaners, chlorine-based, hydrogen peroxide and peroxyacetic acid-based sanitisers. Neogen® wide spectrum neutraliser has been formulated using components accepted for use in the food industry and is free from known allergenic components, animal derived materials (ADM), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors, and components derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Neogen® wide spectrum neutraliser is also designed to be compatible with Neogen® Petrifilm® plates and Neogen® Molecular Detection System and allows for a sample hold time of up to 96 hours at refrigerated temperatures.

The Neogen® environmental scrub sampler stick contains a metal additive for metal detectability. The ergonomic stick conforms to multiple grip types, has a thumb-stop to promote aseptic sampling technique and features an easy-to-use 1-step twist detachment mechanism.

Neogen® environmental scrub sampler Stick with 10mL wide spectrum neutraliser is the first and only sample collection device and neutralising solution to be granted the AOAC® Performance Tested Methods Certificate (#022104). Comes in a 6 x 11" Neogen® sample bag with a 0.89L capacity to hold the device for safe, convenient transportation to the lab. The sample bag is double laminated for strength, puncture resistance, and durability when blending or transporting. Wire ties maintain a secure closure and a blue top and large white write-on area help identify the bag. Sample bag and sampling device are terminally decontaminated through gamma irradiation.
