Zusammenfassung:A device and methods for the rapid chemiluminescence or calorimetric assay of surfaces to detect the presence of microbial or protein contamination is disclosed. A sampling/analysis member ( 10 ) is described having a sampling wand ( 15 ) which is suitable for use by untrained personnel under the relatively harsh and variable conditions found in the field, for example in fast food restaurants and other food preparation areas.
