SRK^® - Surfaces & Equipment microbial testing devices

Copan's SRK^® (Swab Rinse Kits) line includes a comprehensive, tailor-made, and ready-to-use collection and devices for the detection of environmental microbial contamination in a broad range of environments, such as food production, pharmaceutical sites, and hospital wards. Compliant with ISO and International Directives, SRK^® kits can be used by Inspectors and Quality Assurance personnel for routine surface monitoring within manufacturing areas, hospital surfaces, and equipment.

Features and Benefits

• Optimal recovery rate - Choose the sampling probe that best suits your needs: regular FLOQSwabs^®, CLASSIQSwabsTM, plastic/viscose applicator, or sponge spatula.
• Media choice for enhanced preservation - Choose between an isotonic solution or a wide range of selective and enrichment broths: Half Fraiser, RVS, BPW 1%, TSB, UNS, and Letheen broth.
• Sterile sampling frames - The definition of a set sampling area is essential for microbial bioburden validations. Sampling frames will make your surface sampling match that standard.
• Compliance - SRK^® kits are designed compliant with ISO 18593:2018, ISO 18593:2004, ISO 17604:2003, and EU directive 2001/471/E.C

Fields of application

• Hospital-acquired infections: Contaminated surfaces can be the cause of endemic and epidemic transmission of pathogens. Pathogens such as resistant bacteria can shed from infected or colonized patients to survive on dry surfaces for extended periods and are challenging to eradicate by cleaning and disinfection. 
• Pharmaceutical industry: Contaminated pharmaceutical products may lead to ineffective, inappropriate treatment as well as increased costs for the health care system. Inside cleanrooms, environmental monitoring programs can identify potential sources of contamination, allowing the implementation of corrective actions. 
• Food and cosmetic industries: Food-borne diseases can be transmitted through various products and represent a serious and widespread threat to public health. An effective product control strategy is not simply a requirement to comply with current regulations but is a successful strategy to isolate problematic organisms, protect consumers, and prevent the potential for exorbitant direct costs and market losses caused by product recalls.
