Description
Sponge SurfACE dry is a dry sampling sponge for microbiological surface testing and hygiene monitoring. Specified for microbiology use in line with ISO 18593, it enables collection of microorganisms from surfaces when the laboratory protocol defines the moistening liquid to be added at the time of sampling. The dry sponge format suits workflows that require free choice of diluent, neutraliser or broth before wiping equipment, benches and other contact areas. The product is packed as 250 units in a bag, a larger count for high-throughput environmental monitoring and routine hygiene programmes. After moistening according to method, the sponge supports transfer of surface samples for subsequent microbiological analysis. This SurfACE dry sponge from manufacturer Romer Labs addresses surface-focused hygiene monitoring and microbiological analyses. Pack weight is 2,501 kg. Intended for professional laboratory and quality-control settings, it provides a straightforward dry sponge option within standardised ISO 18593 surface-sampling practice and related sample-handling steps.

Questions about Sponge SurfACE dry, ISO18593, for microbiology, 250 unit(s), bag
What is this article?
Sponge SurfACE dry, ISO18593, for microbiology, 250 unit(s), bag is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Romer Labs for laboratory use. It sits in Microbiology (other), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
This shelf is the microbiology article that is not a medium, a dish or a loop: odd reagents, indicators and small devices used around a culture. The organism and the method still choose the article.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
