NordVal certificate renewed for Hygicult TPC!

NMKL - NordVal International has renewed it's NordVal International Certificate for Hygicult TPC

Hygicult TPC has received a renewed certificate from NMKL – NordVal International. They certify that there is no statistical difference in the performances between the Hygicult TPC and reference method for surface hygiene control. Please find the renewed certificate here: Hygicult TPC NordVal Certificate.

Hygicult contact slides are used for monitoring microbial hygiene on surfaces in restaurants, commercial kitchens, food processing plants, and in healthcare. The tests can be used on-site for detecting bacteria, fungi, moulds, or specifically Enterobacteriaceae or differentiating ß-glucuronidase-positive organisms, especially Escherichia coli.

The ready-to-use tests’ results are easy to interpret even without microbiological expertise and the slide can be placed in a tube for convenient transport.
