InSite® Salmonella - Environmental Salmonella Swab Test for Food Contact Surfaces

The Hygiena® InSite Salmonella is an AOAC-certified environmental Salmonella testing device for food contact surfaces and processing equipment. This convenient swab-based test supports effective environmental monitoring by providing reliable on-site detection.

The device includes a pre-moistened swab and selective enrichment media that encourages the growth of Salmonella if present. After incubation, a clear colour change indicates potential contamination, helping teams quickly identify risks and take corrective action.

Ideal for food manufacturing facilities, quality assurance laboratories, and sanitation programs, the InSite Salmonella test helps strengthen food safety monitoring and maintain hygienic production environments.

Key Features:

• Rapid detection of Salmonella species

• AOAC-certified

• Simplified Workflow - Increase lab productivity with streamlined protocols. Less hands-on time frees technician time for other lab work
• Easy-to-Interpret - Easily visible colour interpretation. A darker colour means more contamination is present, providing a measurement of cleanliness and product quality
• Rapid Results - Results in 24 – 48 hours. Faster results mean faster response to potential contamination and quicker product release

• Easy swab-and-incubate testing method

• Clear visual result interpretation

• Pre-moistened swab for effective surface sampling

• Ideal for environmental monitoring in food production

This self-contained testing swab delivers rapid presumptive results as early as 24 hours through colorimetric Salmonella detection - the chromogenic medium changes from purple to bright yellow when Salmonella enterica is present. With detection sensitivity below 10 CFU and no expensive lab equipment required, InSite® Salmonella is ideal for post-sanitation verification and environmental monitoring programs. Built-in neutralizers combat sanitizer residue, ensuring accurate sample collection across stainless steel, plastic, rubber, and concrete surfaces.
