Sampling Sponges – Kits for Environmental Surface Sampling

Sterile sampling sponges suitable for effective swabbing various types of surfaces. Available as dry, pre-moistened, or in sets with an appropriate medium for self-moistening, depending on the sampling area and the method used. Sponges are free of bactericides and have been tested to be non-inhibitory. Depending on product configuration individual sets contain sponge, sample bag, and sampling tools (included in kits or available separately to better match your workflow).
