The importance of sample collection in surfaces environmental monitoring

The environmental monitoring of surfaces is paramount in diverse sectors where contaminations may spread from surfaces to the final product. These potential contaminations imply risks to the product's quality and the health of the final consumer or patient. All microbiology tests start with sample collection. The amount of sample collected, the possibility to sample narrow or irregular surfaces, the capacity to neutralize residues of antibacterial agents that may remain on the surface, and the capability to preserve bacterial viability are all crucial aspects that play an essential role in ensuring the quality of the result.
In this symposium, we will deep dive into the preanalytical phase of microbiology surface monitoring, from the basic theory to the practical tips to select the best collection device in every situation.
