DESCRIPTION
Wet Sponge consists of a transparent plastic bag containing a biocide-free sponge soaked in a liquid medium.
Wet Sponge Stick includes also a plastic rigid handle that allows to sample hard-to-reach areas.
Dry Sponge is available as well.
KIT CONTENT
• 10 zip bags of 10 bags, each with a sterile sponge, which can be dry or wet, with or without stick
Each sponge device undergoes gamma irradiation as a final manufacturing step.
METHOD PRINCIPLE
If the area to sample is wet, a dry sponge may be used, unless neutralizers are needed. A wet sponge shall be used when the area to sample is dry, except if moisture cannot be removed from the processing area. The use of moistened sponge is generally better to increase the recovery of microorganisms. Neutralizers may be included in the diluent or media used to soak the sponge to prevent any inhibitory effect of the disinfectants on the
growth of microorganisms.
