Remark

  • This test is also suitable for testing the effectiveness of hand disinfection.
  • The surfaces to be sampled have to be cleaned and disinfected and must be well dried before sampling. The contact plates, labelled on the bottom, need to be stored at room temperature and returned to the laboratory within 24 hours together with the filled-in submission form.
  • Where applicable, the following multiresistant pathogens can be identified: MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and/or MRSE (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis) and/or ESBL (pathogens that produce forming extended spectrum ß-lactamase). For this, additional costs will be incurred.
  • If you participate regularly (2x per year), you will get a certificate stating the annual monitoring of the disinfection performance of your surface disinfection test.
  • For testing the initial contamination, see the service “Surface contamination testing”.
