Products for environmental monitoring within isolators and clean rooms must meet the highest safety standards. This includes reproducible and secure detection of contaminants. The ICR Swab is
designed for qualitative microbial presence/absence tests. It is ideal for monitoring surfaces that are inaccessible to contact plates.

Detection of low bacterial contamination from Neoprene gloves with ICR swabs
This application note discusses the suitability of ICR Swabs and lockable TSA w. LTHThio contact - ICR+ contact plates, to detect low numbers of different bacterial test strains from Neoprene® gloves.
Neutralizing efficiency of lecithin and polysorbate 80 in ICR contact plates and swabs for surface monitoring
Sample monitoring requires non-selective culture media that should be supplemented with appropriate neutralizers to overcome or minimize antimicrobial activity. To check the suitability of typical mixtures of neutralizers such as LT (lecithin and polysorbate 80), this scientific poster compares several commercially available disinfectants for worst case neutralization efficiency tests.
