Whirl-Pak® Cellulose Sponge Bags are designed for environmental surface sampling of work areas, equipment, animal carcasses, and any other place where testing for Listeria, Salmonella, E.coli, coliforms and other food-borne pathogens, or anthrax is required. The special natural cellulose dry sponge is free of bactericides and has been tested to be non-inhibitory. Wearing a sterile glove when wiping with the sponge is recommended to help prevent contamination.
The 8" (20.3cm) long bendable polypropylene handle allows maximum contact of the sponge with the sampling surface and also helps with the collection of hard-to-reach surfaces, around corners, and irregularly shaped areas. The innovative twist-off head holds the cellulose sponge securely and is quick and easy to remove from the handle once sample collection is completed.
