    Hello Everyone,
     
    I am interested in (very) economical means to spot check seafood processing
    facilities for microbiological levels (i.e., environmental swabbing).
     
    So far, my inquiries have yielded two possibilities: bioluminescence
    equipment (costing in the range of several thousand dollars); and other
    testing kits which provide quantifiable counts (costing around $1,000).
     
    I am looking for something to provide detection of excessive levels of
    contamination (I don't need an exact count) that is both highly portable
    (e.g., could be put in a
    briefcase) and very inexpensive (perhaps $100-200). I am under the
    assumption that such swabbing kits exist, but don't really know where to
    obtain one and/or how exactly to describe one.
     
    Any suggestions or info would be welcome.
     
    Thank you.
