Responsible for the current pandemic, Covid-19 is a disease that can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. The main source of contamination is the <strong>inhalation of infected droplets emitted<\/strong> by sick people. However, the coronavirus survives from a few hours to a few days depending on the type of surface. These contaminated surfaces therefore represent a possible route of contamination. This pandemic has an impact on health issues and regulations. In order to provide a safe and healthy environment for your employees and customers, the <strong>verification of your surface cleaning protocols<\/strong> and the<strong> identification of risk areas<\/strong> must be ensured by<strong> searching for SARS-CoV-2<\/strong> within your structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Phytocontrol solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reactivity of our R&amp;D has enabled us to develop in record time a swab sampling <strong>method for the qualitative analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus<\/strong> on all types of surfaces as well as on everyday consumer products. The real-time RT-PCR analytical method, whose kit is recognised by the NRCs (National Reference Centres), makes it possible to identify the virus in just 24 hours after receipt of the swab. Phytocontrol assists all professionals in the food industry, food manufacturers, shops, cooperatives, local authorities, the liberal profession, cleaning companies, hotels, campsites, etc. Phytocontrol supports all professionals and allows you to control all your food and non-food surfaces :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid-2.png\" alt=\"actu_covid\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid_-2.png\" alt=\"actu_covid_\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid_3-2.png\" alt=\"actu_covid_3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid_4-2.png\" alt=\"actu_covid_4\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid_5-2.png\" alt=\"actu_covid_5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phytocontrol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/actu_covid_6-3.png\" alt=\"actu_covid_6\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Phytocontrol is also able to <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingphytocontrol.shdesign.fr\/en\/news\/phytocontrol-analyses-the-sars-cov-2-virus-in-waters\/\"> analyse SARS-CoV-2 in clean water, waste water and seawater <\/a> thanks to a breakthrough technology: digital PCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/stagingphytocontrol.shdesign.fr\/en\/contact-phytocontrol\/\">\/en\/contact-phytocontrol\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phytocontrol offers you to check the effectiveness of your cleaning on all your surfaces with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":17839,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
