Dip Slides, Swabs and Contact plates

Air conditioning systems, ductwork and kitchen surfaces are prone to the build up of environmental bacterial or mould contamination which, if unchecked, can pose a hazard to health. Swab or contact plate samples can be analysed to assess the level of contamination. They can also be effectively used to assess the efficacy of any cleaning programme in place.
