Protein-FLOW Protein Detection Swab Tests
Manufacturer: ProGnosis Biotech
Description
Key Functional Benefits:
- Instant Interpretation: The test solution shifts from Green (Clean) to Grey/Light Purple (Trace) to Dark Purple (Contaminated). The darker the purple, the higher the protein concentration
- Highly Sensitive: Capable of detecting as little as 10 µg of protein residue, making it ideal for high-risk food processing, commercial kitchens, and industrial manufacturing facilities
- Pre-Moistened for Accuracy: Each swab comes pre-moistened to maximize the recovery of biological matter from dry surfaces, ensuring consistent results
- Simple Activation: A "snap and squeeze" design allows for easy reagent release. No specialized technical training or expensive lab equipment (like incubators or readers) is necessary
Hygiene Monitoring Insights:
- Interpreting the Result: If the swab turns purple immediately, the surface is heavily contaminated and requires immediate re-cleaning. For low levels of protein, allow the full 10 minutes for the color to develop before recording the final result.
- Sampling Technique: Swab a 10 x 10 cm area using a zigzag pattern while rotating the swab head to ensure maximum surface contact.
- Storage Flexibility: Unlike many enzymatic tests, Protein-FLOW is stable at room temperature (up to 25°C), making it perfect for facilities without extensive refrigerated storage on the production floor.
