Environmental Swabs - Cheap & Effective 24 Hour On-Site Swab Testing for Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria spp., Salmonella, and E. coli

Overview

Managing food safety in a production environment is a constant challenge, especially when it comes to detecting and addressing contamination effectively in the factory environment. Traditional lab testing methods often involve high costs and long waiting times—delays that can hinder your ability to quickly identify and resolve issues, putting your business and consumers at risk. That’s why we’re introducing NEMIS, a cutting-edge on-site lab testing solution designed to help food manufacturers streamline their hygiene monitoring processes.

With NEMIS, you can test for major foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria spp., Salmonella, and E. coli directly in your facility and get results within just 24 hours. This technology has been verified by Campden BRI, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.

NEMIS doesn’t just save you time and money; it also empowers your team to take immediate action to maintain high hygiene standards and mitigate risks. It’s the perfect tool to revolutionize your food safety protocols.

Key Benefits Over Existing Lab Testing

Faster Results: Get actionable insights within 24 hours—quicker than traditional lab testing.
Streamlined Investigations: Identify problem areas and "hot spots" faster, helping you focus your team’s efforts.
Improved Accuracy: Unlike PCR tests, NEMIS eliminates false positives by distinguishing live bacterial cells from dead ones.
Technology You Can Trust: Uses Phage Technology and Verified by Campden BRI.
Safe and Intuitive: A closed system ensures safety, and the testing process is as easy as using ATP tests.
Comprehensive Testing: Covers the most serious food pathogens, including Listeria Mono, Listeria App, Salmonella, and E. coli.

How It Works

Please watch our video to see how NEMIS combined Phage Technology with AquaSpark to detect live bacteria using a chemical light reaction known as chemiluminescence.

Endorsements

“Thanks to the rapid test, we receive reliable results within 24 hours and can therefore react much more quickly" [Quality Assurance Manager]

“We have been using Nemis for 8 months now are are very satisfied. With this testing, we have found a reliable and user friendly test method for our environmental monitoring program for Listeria mono” [Head of QM/QA]

Addressing Listeria Mono Issues

Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria Mono) is one of the most serious and challenging foodborne pathogens to manage in the food industry. It thrives in moist environments, forming biofilms on surfaces that are difficult to detect and remove. An outbreak of Listeria Mono can lead to severe health risks for consumers, costly recalls, and reputational damage for manufacturers. The NEMIS system is a game-changer for factories facing these challenges. Here’s how it can help:

Early Detection and Rapid Response: NEMIS delivers reliable results within 24 hours, allowing you to detect Listeria Mono before it becomes a widespread issue. Traditional lab tests often take several days, delaying crucial corrective actions.
Focus Your Cleaning Efforts: By pinpointing contamination "hot spots" quickly, NEMIS helps your hygiene teams concentrate on problem areas rather than wasting resources on blanket cleaning efforts. This targeted approach saves both time and money.
Reduce False Positives: Unlike PCR tests, which can detect dead bacterial cells and lead to false alarms, NEMIS specifically identifies live bacteria. This precision ensures you’re only addressing viable threats, preventing unnecessary disruption to your production.
Ease of Use: Designed for intuitive operation, NEMIS integrates seamlessly into your existing hygiene protocols. It’s as easy to use as an ATP swab, requiring minimal training for your team.
Prevention of Recurrences: Regular on-site testing with NEMIS helps you maintain control over environmental conditions, minimizing the risk of recurring contamination and biofilm formation.
Compliance and Consumer Safety: Rapidly detecting and addressing Listeria Mono ensures you remain compliant with food safety regulations and protects your consumers from serious illness.

With NEMIS, you’re not just reacting to contamination—you’re proactively safeguarding your production environment and maintaining the trust of your customers.

Why Choose NEMIS?

NEMIS is a cost-effective, lab-free screening tool for live bacteria that sits conveniently on your desk, saving you money and providing reliable results quickly. By reducing waiting times, you can focus your hygiene efforts where they matter most and resolve contamination issues faster than ever before.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

NEMIS is already being used by top food producers across the UK, helping them save money and improve safety.
