Used to collect bacteria samples from a work surface, equipment, animal carcasses, and other areas. Sampling system contains a dry sponge packaged inside a Whirl-Pak bag, with or without a sterile glove in a separate sealed compartment. After adding diluent (available separately) and wiping surface to be tested, simply return the sponge to its original Whirl-Pak bag.
