Description
Sponge-Stick SurfACE LB is a ready-to-use surface sampling device pre-moistened with Letheen Broth for microbiological hygiene monitoring. Intended for environmental and food-contact surface checks in line with ISO 18593, the stick-mounted sponge supports controlled swabbing of equipment, worktops and production areas while helping to neutralise residual sanitisers and maintain microbial viability until analysis. The format combines a convenient handle with a sponge matrix that maximises contact on flat and contoured surfaces, simplifying routine sampling workflows in laboratories and industrial hygiene programmes. Supplied in bags of 100 pieces from manufacturer Romer Labs, the units are packed for efficient stock handling and field or plant use. The aqueous moistening medium has a boiling point of 100 °C and is suited to standard culture-based microbiology procedures. These SurfACE sponge-sticks streamline pathogen screening and general hygiene verification by delivering a consistent, pre-wetted sampling tool that reduces preparation steps and supports reproducible recovery of microorganisms from critical surfaces.

Questions about Sponge-Stick SurfACE LB, pre-moistened with Letheen Broth, 100 unit(s), bag
What is this article?
Sponge-Stick SurfACE LB, pre-moistened with Letheen Broth, 100 unit(s), bag is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Romer Labs for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
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.
