Why Microgen® Path-Chek® Hygiene Protein Kits Matters?
Ensuring surfaces are truly clean is critical to preventing foodborne contamination. The Microgen® Path-Chek® Hygiene Protein Kits enable rapid, proactive verification of cleaning protocols, support HACCP compliance, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and strengthen overall hygiene assurance in food manufacturing facilities.
2. Microgen® Path-Chek® Hygiene Swab System
The Microgen® Path-Chek® Hygiene Swab System offer a trusted method to detect Salmonella, Listeria, and Coliforms from environmental surfaces and equipment in food processing areas. Each pre-moistened swab ensures effective sample recovery, even in hard-to-reach locations, while neutralizing detergents and preserving sample integrity. Designed for use with organism-specific media, these kits deliver accurate, traceable, and internationally compliant results.
> Pre-moistened swabs
Ensure better recovery from surfaces.
> Detergent neutralization
Preserves sample integrity and accuracy.
> Easy handling
Designed for smooth transfer and reduced contamination risk.
> Reliable detection
Limit of detection (LOD) 1–10 cfu/mL.
> Standards compliant
Meets international hygiene testing requirements.
How To Use Microgen® Path-Chek® Hygiene Swab System?
1. Swab
Recover bacteria from the surface using a pre-moistened swab (neutralizes common detergents).

2. Transfer to Media
Insert the swab into the organism-specific media; the break point allows easy and sterile transfer.
3. Incubate
Incubate the media as per instructions, either with the Path-Chek® Heat Bath or by using a standard laboratory incubator
