ESS Offers Services for Measuring Surface Decontamination
ESS is providing sampling and analysis for the SARS-CoV-2 virus – the virus responsible for COVID-19. The sample analysis is conducted utilizing the same technology as used in clinical analyses on humans.
Specific to COVID-19 viral targets, ESS is offering the following sample collection and analysis:
- SARS-CoV-2 Surfacial Sampling: collecting samples from the surfaces of targeted areas.
- SARS-CoV-2 Air Sampling: collecting air samples from targeted areas utilizing specialized cassettes and sample pumps.
- Disinfection Efficiency Testing: also referred to as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Testing. ATP is present in all living cells – and can therefore be used as a metric to measure the efficiency of your cleaning protocols. Although not able to measure viral loading, it is a great tool to identify your cleaning method efficiencies.
ESS offers sampling and analysis services to those in the hospitality & food service industries, industrial, institutional, medical care and human health care facilities (including dentists, hospitals, doctors offices, and chiropractors), municipal government facilities, US State Department, and US military bases.
ESS provides rapid response to meet your needs. Call us to find out how we can help.
