P - C H P S: ATH HEK Ygiene Athogen Ystem

Microgen Bioproducts Ltd has developed the Path-Chek Hygiene Pathogen Systems for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria such as Listeria, Coliforms, and Salmonella from food processing surfaces. These systems utilize pre-moistened swabs and organism-specific detection broths, complying with ISO standards and ensuring high sensitivity and specificity. The tests are designed for easy use, eliminating the need for incubation media in production areas.

As food manufacturers and processors realise the importance of microbiological environmental
hygiene monitoring as part of a good manufacturing practices in the food industry, the need for a
cost-effective, easy-to-use, rapid and accurate method for environmental sampling has become
increasingly more important. Microgen Bioproducts Ltd has met this need by developing a new
range of environmental pathogen detection systems: Path-Chek Hygiene Pathogen Systems. These
systems meet all of the requirements of ISO Standards for environmental sampling (ISO 18593:2004
(E)) through the use of pre-moistened swabs for the sampling of surfaces, combined with organism
specific chromogenic detection broth into which the swab is placed and incubated at 35-37°C.

The range of Path-Chek Hygiene Pathogen Systems consist of tests for 3 organism types; Listeria,
Coliforms and Salmonella.

All three systems utilise an identical test principle. Bacteria are recovered from the surface of food
manufacturing or processing equipment using a pre-moistened swab, which is capable of neutralising
commonly employed detergents and sanitisers. The sample swab is then transferred into an
organism specific media (swabs have a conveniently located break point so that they can easily be
broken off into the growth media). The test media are then incubated at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours
for Coliforms and Salmonella, and 30-48 hours for Listeria (earlier positive results are available at 24
hours for L. monocytogenes). If the specific target bacteria are present on the sample swabs, bacte-
rial growth will cause the colour of the media to change.

Test reactions:
Coliform Results: Positive Negative

Salmonella Result: Positive Negative

Listeria Result: Positive Negative
