SpongesCollect™ Cellulose Dry is designed for microbial sampling from surfaces in food processing, medical, and pharmaceutical environments. The primary purpose of this product is to facilitate the collection of microbial samples from surfaces, equipment, and surrounding areas in food production facilities. The non-moistened sponge allows the user flexibility in selecting and applying the appropriate solution, ensuring that microorganisms are protected throughout the transport and analysis process.
SpongesCollect™ Cellulose Dry uses a cellulose sponge to collect microorganisms from surfaces. The user can independently moisten the sponge with the appropriate solution, such as Buffered Peptone Water, Letheen Broth, or other solutions, to recover and protect microorganisms during transport and analysis. The non-moistened sponge provides flexibility in selecting the optimal medium for each specific application, while helping to maintain the viability and stability of microorganisms without altering their characteristics.
- Inspect the SpongesCollect™ product to ensure there is no damage or contamination during storage.
- Write sample information on the provided label attached to the product packaging.
- Tear the bag along the pre-marked perforated line.
- Push the sponge near the edge of the bag so that part of the sponge is exposed for easy handling. Hold the sponge from the outside of the bag and carefully remove it directly by hand, making sure not to touch the inside surface of the bag to avoid contamination.
- Immerse the sponge into a sterile buffer/culture medium as required (if necessary).
- Rub the SpongesCollect™ sponge on the area to be sampled.
- After sampling, return the sponge to the bag. Ensure the sponge does not fall out and avoid direct contact with the outer surface of the packaging.
- Use the provided tie to seal the SpongesCollect™ bag by rolling the top of the bag and tightly twisting the tie inside the bag.
- The sample must be sent to the laboratory as soon as possible to prevent changes in microbial characteristics. The transportation process should comply with sample storage regulations.
No bacterial growth after incubation at 35 – 37°C for 72 hrs.
