Swabs are commonly used to validate cleaning and sanitation strategies and verify appropriate levels of cleanliness during critical manufacturing steps. For food, pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturing facilities, swabs are used in validation testing to sample a surface in the critical environment for specific contaminants.

By using the right swab for the right application, you can minimise the microscopic contaminants that cloud environmental test results, leave adhesive residues on equipment surfaces when the swab head reacts with harsh chemicals or leave behind materials that can raise alarms in operations that require strict levels of particulate control.
