Active Air Sampling

Our active air sampling service tests the microbiological content of the air. This process involves placing a petri dish with appropriate agar onto the collection clips of an air sampler. A predetermined volume of air, typically 500 cubic meters, is then passed over the plate, collecting bacteria, mould, and fungal spores onto the agar. The plate is then returned to our laboratory for incubation and identification. We frequently conduct testing in laboratories and holding rooms  to identify possible contaminants before and after deep cleaning procedures.

Routine checks are also performed to ensure these environments’ ongoing cleanliness and safety.

Laboratory Animal Allergens

LAA’s are a serious concern for those working with animals. Over time, staff can become sensitised and may exhibit symptoms, become ill and  unable to continue in their roles. Here at Enviroscreen Air Services, we cover a range of species such as: rabbits, mice, rats, cats, dogs, house dust mites and even cockroaches! We test for allergen levels via ELISA on personnel, as well as static in the rooms – thus giving you an overview of levels in your facility before they become a potential issue. Our Enviroscreen staff will also be on hand during the process, to look at practices in your facility and advise where needed.

Volatile Organic Compounds

We can do onsite sampling for VOC’s such as Formaldehyde, Ozone, CO2, and ethylene using a variety of methods such as PID meters, Draeger tubes and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.  Please get in touch to see how we could help you today.

Biological Indicators

If you use VHP or autoclaves in your facility, biological indicators are the gold standard in sterilisation confirmation. We use Geobacillus thermophilus impregnated discs supplied to you for sterilisation confirmation. Discs are incubated for 24 hr (rapid) or 5 days (full confirmation). We give you a validation success report, giving you confidence your sterilisation methods were successful and safe for use.

Cleaning Validation

Do you need to have your cleaning validated?

Enviroscreen Air Services can validate the effectiveness of your cleaning procedures through microbiological sampling. Our expert Microbiologist will report any growth and give you an in-depth account of any species found.

We can provide a complete package, from sending out the consumables needed to expert guidance throughout the entire process.

We can visit your site, or you can send us sample swabs for processing. Get in touch with us today, and let’s explore how we can assist you.

Microbiological Surface Swabbing

We perform surface swabbing to detect potentially harmful pathogenic material from various locations, including sink drains, behind cabinets, door handles, floors, walls, and more. Samples are collected using specialized swabs and returned to our microbiology laboratory. There, they are cultured, incubated, and identified to determine the presence of pathogens. We frequently conduct testing in laboratories and holding rooms to identify possible contaminants before and after deep cleaning procedures. Routine checks are also performed to ensure the ongoing cleanliness and safety of these environments. Contact us today to see how we could help you.

Ultra Violet (UV) Efficacy testing

UV at around 265 nm can be an effective means of disinfecting surfaces that is chemical free and leaves no residues.

We do a pre and post UV exposure count of bacteria on a surface, using typical foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, or Listeria or Bacillus atrophaeus. We then show how many log­10 reductions were achieved. This can be very useful for customers in risk assessments such as HACCP analysis (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).

This service is especially useful for maintaining the cleanliness and safety of food production, as well as in other facilities where hygiene is crucial.

VHP

Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) is a highly effective and advanced method utilised for comprehensive surface and air sterilisation. VHP eliminates a broad spectrum of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This eco-friendly, residue-free method ensures thorough decontamination in diverse environments such as healthcare facilities, laboratories, cleanrooms, and more. Contact us with any enquiries on our VHP services.

Water Monitoring

We provide essential water monitoring services to safeguard animal welfare, covering drinking water, tanks, and aquatic environments. Our meticulous analysis includes qualitative and quantitative microbiological testing to identify contamination sources, and ensure optimal water quality. From routine checks to 24-hour premium services, our expertise benefits various species.
