Patent number: 12055468Abstract: Sampling probe devices, systems and methods for sampling frozen or solid meltable products. Such systems can include a heating element for placing against the frozen or solid product and a sampler with a cover fabricated at least partly from a microbial sampling medium so the cover absorbs a liquid sample from the product. Methods of sampling include heating the product and contacting the product with the cover until sufficient liquid sample is absorbed by the cover of the sampler. The cover can be weighed after sampling and compared to a before-sampling weight to confirm sufficient liquid was obtained. The sample can be tested as an aggregate sample that is representative of the lot or batch of product being sampled, including testing without an enrichment procedure. Systems utilizing automated heated-sampling plates and radiative heaters are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Fremonta CorporationInventors: Eric Wilhelmsen, Yongqing Huang, Florence Wu, Garth Hoffmann, Wei Wu
