Sponge SurfACE DE, pre-moistened with Dey Engley Broth, 200 unit(s), bag

Sponge SurfACE DE is a pre-moistened sampling sponge for microbiological surface hygiene monitoring according to ISO 18593. Each sponge arrives ready for use with Dey Engley Broth, supporting microorganism recovery from work surfaces, equipment and production areas in food, pharmaceutical and laboratory environments. Supplied as 200 units in a bag, the format eases inventory control for routine environmental monitoring. The moistening medium has a boiling point of 100 °C under the stated conditions and fits ordinary laboratory handling practice. Quality and hygiene teams employ this SurfACE sponge from manufacturer Romer Labs to obtain consistent surface samples for later culture or analytical testing. Application areas include hygiene monitoring, microbiological analyses and surface-focused sampling where standardised tools improve comparability between locations and shifts. The pre-moistened design cuts preparation steps at the point of use and supports structured sampling programmes. Suitable for facilities that require ready-to-deploy surface sponges aligned with ISO 18593 workflows and ongoing microbiological control.
