TX761K Alpha Sampling Swab LowTOC with Long Handle (MOL 6.390")

 

Swabbing is a preferred method to determine the effectiveness of cleaning protocols as determined by the US FDA. TOC analysis is one method used to validate these cleaning processes. The Low TOC Alpha Swabs have been cleaned to a level of <50ig/L. This minute level of TOC makes these swabs the ideal
tool for use in Cleaning Validation of equipment used in the manufacture of APIs, excipients and drugs. The double layered, double-knit polyester head provides excellent recovery rates by entrapping samples in the knit structure without adhering to the sample, allowing complete release into the diluent.

The two designs available were created for differing needs of the Pharmaceutical industry in Cleaning Validation. TX714K, the same swab in the TX3340 and TX3342 TOC Cleaning Validation Kits, has a large head on a rigid, break-away handle. This model provides firm support for sampling broad areas and flat surfaces. The break-away handle allows the swab head to be placed into a sampling vial with minimal handling. TX761K has a long, flexible handle which is appropriate for tighter and more difficult to reach areas.
