Hi everyone.
We’re looking for labs that will analyse environmental swabs for the
presence (and ideally numbers) of any pathogens on surfaces.
We’d like to implement this as part of our infection control auditing.
Does anyone know of any labs that will do this for private clinics?
I’ve searched the internet and spoken to some other healthcare providers,
but have not had much luck so far.
Thanks!Kind regards,
Annette Lenarz

Hi,
There are quite a few labs that could potentially do this, and have a presence in each state, but we cant mention companies etc. on here.
If anyone else needs to know who can help with similar swabbing, drop me an email and I can put you in touch.

Hi Annette,
When we terminally cleaned our cohort COVID ward last month, we did 10 random surface
swabs as a quality activity. It also reassured many staff that we can beat the virus with
diligent environmental cleaning, amongst other things!Our in-house pathology (Aust. Clinical Lab.) assisted this with us. Of course, we discussed this
first with their Area Manager so that she can proactively follow-through with the specimen
as they arrived in their laboratory.Susan Marquez | Infection Control Coordinator

Hi Annette,
Please contact me as they are other options available for this in conjunction with ATP which will assist with pathogen presence (with numbers) which you can do on site yourself.
Happy to send you information.
