Designed for surface sampling and effective in hard-to-reach areas, the 8” (20.3 cm) long probe consists of a polypropylene holder with detachable handle that is adhered to a durable polyurethane sponge that resists tearing and fraying.
- Probe is packaged in a sealed 24 oz (710 ml) write-on bag and hydrated with 10 ml of HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth
- Product is terminally gamma processed to guarantee sterility
- Box contains five foil pouches with 20 probes each for a total of 100 probes
To use:
- Tear open the top of the bag
- Squeeze out any excess neutralizing broth
- Swab the surface
- Insert the sponge back into the bag and, while holding the sponge from the outside, unscrew the handle and discard
- Drop the sponge into the bag, fold the top of the bag over three or more times, bend in the wire tabs to close, and send to a lab for testing
