- Stick-mounted sponge for access hard to reach areas without directly handling the sponge
- Sponge easily snaps off handle after swabbing
- Simplified packaging minimizes handling and preparation and reduces waste
- 1.5 x 3 inch biocide-free sponge does not affect organism viability
- 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer

Better testing begins with better samples — and better samples are obtained when you use the best collection tools.
Made from biocide-free cellulose sponge 3M™ Hydrated Sponges do not interfere with microorganism viability within 48 hours of refrigeration for Salmonella and E. coli and 72 hours for Listeria.
The pre-hydrated sponges come with a double laminated bag and gloves for ready-to-use convenience and consistent, reliable results every time.
Both the sample bag and sponge are decontaminated through gamma irradiation to maintain organism viability and long shelf life.
