Path-Chek^® Hygiene Protein is a rapid chemical based test for the detection of invisible food residues on food manufacturing surfaces after routine cleaning and sanitising procedures have been performed. The test provides an instant result without the need for laboratory facilities or incubation.
Path-Chek^® Hygiene Protein does not detect bacteria, so tests for specific food borne pathogens are recommended as complementary environmental test.
Path-Chek^® Hygiene Protein swabs are economical to use as one swab has two swab heads and therefore two tests per swab (opened swabs can be stored in a zip lock bag for up to 7 days at 2-8°C).
