TRANSPORT SWABS W/ DEY-ENGLEY NEUTRALIZING AGAR (D/E AGAR DISINFECTANT TESTING)

Transport Swabs W/ Dey-Engley Neutralizing Agar are specifically designed for the collection and transportation of microorganisms from sanitized or disinfected surfaces. The medium has a broad-spectrum neutralizing formulation that neutralizes any residual disinfectants to maximize the survival of recovered organisms for accurate microbiological analyses and environmental monitoring.
The agar contains a mixture of neutralizing agents to neutralize a wide variety of antimicrobial substances such as quaternary ammonium compounds, iodine, chlorine, mercurials, aldehydes, and phenolic disinfectants. This prevents any residual sanitizer from further inhibiting or killing microorganisms post sample collection and reduces potential false negative results. Nutrient-rich ingredients enable microbial survival during transit, while dextrose and a pH indicator serve as a visual indication of microbial metabolic activity by changing color when acid is generated.
Transport Swabs W/ Dey-Engley Neutralizing Agar are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, cleanrooms, hospitals, food processing facilities, and other controlled environments where surface hygiene validation is essential. The system enables accurate analysis of environmental monitoring, disinfectant efficacy testing and regular microbiological quality control programs, through the combination of efficient neutralization of disinfectants and dependable preservation of specimens.

Ensures accurate recovery of microorganisms from disinfected surfaces by neutralizing residual sanitizers and maintaining sample integrity during transport.
