Description
The Alpha^® Sampling Swab is a polyester swab specifically
engineered for cleaning validation using analytical techniques
such as HPLC and UV/visible spectroscopy. The laundered, knitted
polyester head provides sampling with minimal background
contamination (see chart). A long, rigid handle and internal head
paddle provide firm support and even contact with the sampling
area. The swab handle is notched so the head can easily be
snapped off for convenient sample handling. The Alpha Sampling
Swab is not appropriate for TOC analysis.
