Introducing HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth: Smarter Environmental Sampling for More Reliable Results
iQ Scientific is pleased to announce the exclusive availability of World Bioproducts, adding an innovative range of environmental sampling solutions to its portfolio. Designed for laboratories, food manufacturers and quality professionals, the range includes specialist swabs, sponges and sample collection systems developed to improve sample recovery and confidence in microbiological testing.
A key feature in the range is HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth, an advanced collection solution developed specifically for environmental monitoring applications. Unlike standard neutralizing buffers, HiCap™ provides enhanced neutralisation of commonly used sanitizers, including quaternary ammonium compounds, peracetic acid, peroxide and chlorine-based disinfectants. It also maintains microorganism viability for up to 96-hours after collection, helping to reduce the risk of false negatives when testing delays occur.
HiCap™’s performance is supported by research from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which compared collection solutions used for environmental monitoring. The study found that HiCap™ performed equivalently to D/E broth under all test conditions and maintained effective recovery of stressed Listeria monocytogenes even when exposed to exceptionally high levels of quaternary ammonium sanitizer. The research also demonstrated that HiCap™ remained effective after storage at room temperature for up to two months.
With the exclusive addition of World Bioproducts, iQ Scientific continues its commitment to providing customers with proven, science-backed solutions that support stronger environmental monitoring and food safety programmes.
