Rapid, Simple and Low Cost Systems for Assessing the Microbial Presence on Various Surfaces and Equipment

Each SRK Unit

is typically comprised of a labeled screw cap tube with a swab stick attached to the cap and the tube filled with a specified volume of rinse solution. Each unit constitutes a complete collection kit. SRK Kits are available in bulk packs or individually sterile wrapped. In addition to regular collection kits, Combo Sets are also available comprising two tubes: one screw cap tube with attached sterile swab and filled with a small volume of saline solution. The small volume of saline is intended to simply moisten the tip of the swab. The Combo Set has a second tube containing nutrient broth which functions as a rinse solution, diluent or recovery medium.

Easy to Use

on-site or in the field by inspectors and QA personnel.

Easy Visual Interpretation of Positive Growth

sing innovative K-resin™ plastic tubes. For analysis of swab samples that require visual interpretation of positivity based upon growth or no-growth in the nutrient medium. Copan provides specific SRK kits that incorporate very clear plastic tubes with the clarity similar to a glass tube. This glass like clarity is very advantageous and makes reading of turbidity or cloudiness resulting from organism growth very easy to see.

Wide Selection for All Applications

Buffered Peptone Water, Letheen Broth, DE Neutralizing Broth, Butterfields and Copan SRK Neutralizing Solution. Choice of different swab lengths and different medium fill volumes to suit a wide range of industries and applications.

Bioburden Control System

Facilitates routine surface monitoring in sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing sites to determine the microbial bioburden of surfaces within a manufacturing area as well as on equipment and product contact areas.

Sanitization Validation

Convenient system for verification and validation of effective sanitization and disinfection procedures.

Hgienic Assessment

Enables routine hygiene monitoring of food contact surfaces and assessment of hygienic status of food processing environments.

Superior Method

for sampling uneven or irregular surfaces, equipment, difficult to reach sites and heavily contaminated surfaces SRK system is superior.
