This sampling tool is disinfected with gamma radiation to ensure a long shelf life. The NEOGEN Swab-Samplers are manufactured in the USA and are ISO 9001:2008 certified to guarantee quality. The sampling instrument is intended for laboratory use only. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method is the most widely accepted food safety management protocol worldwide. NEOGEN's sampling products form an important part of this method for identifying potential foodborne risks and determining where these risks are located.

The portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle cotton swabs and sponges are designed for testing for a wide range of potential risks and for delivering exceptionally accurate results. They are made for the safe collection, storage, and securing of contents from the sampling site to the laboratory, without leakage and without affecting the sample. Letheen Broth is primarily used for neutralizing the bactericidal activity of quaternary ammonium mixtures, and for determining the phenol coefficient of cationic surfactants according to the recommendations in the Official Analytical Methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Letheen Broth is also used in hygienic sampling procedures where neutralizing quaternary ammonium mixtures are required.
