The Oculer swab test for microbial load

The Oculer surface contamination kit provides both the swab and culture medium required for estimating the microbial load on surfaces. The kit can be used for determining the microbial load on any surface but is most often used for monitoring cleanroom surfaces.

The instrument calculates the microbial load present on a swab by reference to a pre-loaded calibration curve and results can be presented as cfu/ml, pass or fail or as a traffic light system. Using the Oculer test kit overcomes the need for media production and Quality Assurance, removes the need to count plates, does not suffer from swarming colonies and needs no additional laboratory equipment.

High Precision Environmental Testing for Critically Sensitive Cleanroom Surfaces

Quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry and in many other contaminant sensitive production environments have raised the bar for rapid and precise assays. Oculer has risen to the challenge by producing its market-proven sterile test kits that include moistened flocked swabs bundled with media-filled APCheck vials - blister packed and gamma irradiated for guaranteed sterility in the hands of the user.

After following the procedure to wipe the swab over the surface to be tested, the very same process for Oculer’s simple walk-away tests apply - simply break the stem into the tube, replace the vial cap, drop the vial into the instrument and close the lid. Oculer looks after the rest!

How It Works

The Oculer Rapid 930 Series is a dual-function incubator/reader that, when combined with our bioengineered culture media and our precision oxygen depletion sensor forms a completely integrated package for food spoilage organisms.
