Our new 3 in 1 Swabbing

Our new 3-in-1 Swabbing

In the food industry, hygiene swabbing is crucial for detecting pathogens and hygiene indicator organisms. By swabbing equipment and surfaces in food processing areas, manufacturers can identify and address potential sources of contamination. This practice helps maintain high hygiene standards and ensures the effectiveness of cleaning protocols.

Our new 3-in-1 swab technology allows us to conduct three distinct analyses from a single swab, including:

Cronobacter species analysed by PCR
Salmonella species analysed by PCR
Enterobacteriaceae analysed by Tempo automated enumerative MPN method

This innovation speeds up sampling times, minimises consumable waste and optimises labour utilisation with no compromise to quality - our rigorous validation ensures the sensitivity of our 3-in-1 approach matches that of the individual methods.

Hill News August 2024 - Update From Our MD, Dr Jonno Hill

This year our business turns 40, so it is natural that we take some time to reflect on our journey to date, and where we think we might be heading. One of the things I am particularly proud of at the moment is the increasing attention we're paying to measuring and reducing our environmental footprint. Running a business in a competitive market requires that many things are done well, and so we are always working hard at our 'business-as-usual' routine services, as well as a portfolio of projects aimed at expanding and improving our business. As for any business, our key people generally have very little discretionary time, and there is always a list of things to do. Spending time on environmental sustainability initiatives therefore requires deliberate thought and effort - time that needs to be carved out in an environment where time is of the essence.
