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. Sample is then ready to be transported to the laboratory for analysis. The glove is packaged with the open end up so it can be put on without touching the hand area.
