Description
Sponge SurfACE LB is a pre-moistened sampling sponge for microbiological surface hygiene monitoring in accordance with ISO 18593. Each sponge is ready for use with Letheen Broth, supporting recovery of microorganisms from work surfaces, equipment and production environments in food, pharmaceutical and laboratory settings. The product is supplied as 200 units in a bag, simplifying stock holding for routine environmental monitoring programmes. The moistening medium has a boiling point of 100 °C under the stated conditions, which fits standard laboratory handling. Hygiene and quality teams use this SurfACE sponge format from manufacturer Romer Labs to collect consistent surface samples for subsequent culture or analytical work. Typical use covers hygiene monitoring, microbiological analyses and dedicated surface sampling where comparable collection tools matter across sites and shifts. The pre-moistened presentation reduces on-site preparation steps and supports structured sampling plans. Suitable for laboratories and production facilities that need ready-to-deploy surface sponges for ongoing microbiological control and ISO 18593-aligned workflows.

Questions about Sponge SurfACE LB, pre-moistened with Letheen Broth, 200 unit(s), bag
What is this article?
Sponge SurfACE LB, pre-moistened with Letheen Broth, 200 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.
