Which is better for your healthcare, school, food service or other organization?  Whether it is for hand hygiene training, environmental cleaning verification or general infection control trainings- you can rely on OUTFOX for accurate information.
OUTFOX Prevention strives to give you the best options for your fluorescent training needs (fluorescent gel, fluorescent powder, clue spray, fluorescent markers and UV black lights).  Hence, we have worked hard to maintain relationships with the two main manufacturers, Glo Germ and Glitterbug (Brevis)
 
Below you will find their comparisons.  All of our infection control products (distributed) are priced even with the manufacturer's prices (they sell some direct for the same price as OUTFOX) so coming to us just gives you a better variety of products to choose from! 

 

Mix and match the training products from the two manufacturers to find your perfect combination.  For, there are positive and negatives for just using one line of products for your infection control campaigns.  Some have better black lights, some fluorescent gels work better and some have great infection control posters! 

 

To help you choose, the following lists will highlight the two suppliers and give you links to see the products more in depth (with reviews about some of them included) on our site.  If you have questions on which products will work best for your organization, you can [contact us here].
