Solar-Cult® SAMPLING PRODUCTS PREMOISTENED SPONGES

Attached to Quick Release Handle

Our sterile pre-moistened cellulose sponge with quick release handle is designed for sampling for microbiological contamination on almost any surface. It is a convenient ready to use product, designed to eliminate the costly, time-consuming steps of diluent preparation, sterilization and application to sampling devices. Packaged in a sterile twirl - tie bag makes this an all inclusive sampling system. Simply remove the handle (sponge attached), collect sample, return to bag, release sponge into bag, twirl bag closed and send to lab for analysis.

The added convenience of the quick release handle allows for the sponge to be released directly into the twirl-tie bag after sample collection. Only the sponge goes back into the bag after sample collection eliminating any unnecessary parts that may interfere with sample processing.
