The Safe, Accurate and Efficient Way to Swab!
SwabbotTM, SWAB-ETM, is the new way to swab hard-to-reach locations, such as vessels and other large confined spaces, which are required to satisfy your cleaning validation program requirements. Let the Swabbot do all the work and keep your team members safe without sacrificing quality. Include SWAB-BTM, the SwabbotTM Benchtop, in your laboratory to ensure that your cleaning validation coupons studies meet the highest standards.
Swabbot (SWAB•E) and
Tank Access System
Swabbot, SWAB-E, is our patented device that can greatly improve the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of your cleaning validation Swabbing Process. When the Swabbot is used with our Tank Access System you will have unprecedented access to your vessels. SWAB-E is so talented it can even swab Agitator Shafts!
Safe
SWAB-E removes the risk of confined space entry when used with our Swabbot Tank Access System. Now you can place the SWAB•E where you need to swab and let it do all the work.
Accurate
SWAB-E will perform your swabbing procedure the same way every time. It also ensures that the correct amount of pressure is applied to the surface for optimal recovery every time.
Efficiency
With the SWAB-E, swabbing can be performed by one person who does not need to be certified as a swabber. No confined space entry means less equipment downtime, and a certified swabber is no longer needed.
Swabbot Benchtop (SWAB•B)
Swabbot Benchtop, SWAB-B, is the SWAB-E for your laboratory. This device seamlessly complements SWAB-E and ensures that the unparalleled swabbing excellence achieved in the field is replicated in your laboratory. Harness the power of automation to amplify productivity and drive exceptional performance while maintaining the highest standard,
Accurate
SWAB-B will perform your swabbing procedure the same way every time. It also ensures that the correct amount of pressure is applied to the surface for optimal recovery every time.
Efficiency
SWAB-B performs the swabbing automatically so your laboratory personnel can focus on other tasks. Multiple SWAB-B can improve efficiency even more. There is no longer a need for a certified swabber.
Current Swabbing Practice
Manual Swabbing
Manual Swabbing requires highly trained individuals, which limits flexibility and increases operational costs. The cost to certify one person is over USD 4,000. To ensure availability, companies will certify more people than needed. This means that some may perform the swabbing procedure infrequently, which can lead to poor performance.
Confined Space Entry
Swabbing locations are only sometimes easy to access and may require confined space entry, which is dangerous, costly, and time-consuming. Even when safety procedures and additional safety measures were in place, there have been many deaths or injuries in the Life Sciences Industry during confined space entry. Even one person getting injured is too much.
The Telescoping Pole
One solution that companies are using to remove the risk of confined space entry is to perform swabbing using a telescoping pole. This solution removes the risk of confined space entry but dramatically reduces the recovery and increases variability. This means there is a risk of false positive or negative results, which increases costs and puts the company and its patients at risk.
What are people saying
“Let me begin by stating that this is a great technology that has been a long time coming! I am all for it – glad you all are publishing something on it!”
“It is great to see new developments in technology in this space. Swabbing is a key methodology in cleaning validation to demonstrate effectiveness, but it is highly variable.”
“Getting consistent swab methodology without the distance challenge would be a great benefit in this space.”
