Sample Kits & Sponges

Effective cleaning and sanitizing of the processing environment is a crucial control measure in helping to prevent finished product contamination. Our environmental sampling kits are essential for monitoring your environmental control program or improving an existing one to avoid costly contamination problems.

Do you have an environmental sampling program in place to help protect your product? Deciding where and when to sample in an environmental surveillance program is as important as using good sampling techniques. Sites should be chosen to give you the maximum amount of data per sample. We can provide you with the tools, knowledge, and employee training to help you improve your program. We offer kits for hassle-free sampling with less waste. And you can easily track all of your data on-line with Silliker-eSTAR.com.
