Description
Sponge SurfACE LB is a pre-moistened sampling sponge prepared with Letheen Broth for microbiological surface testing and hygiene monitoring. Intended for microbiology workflows aligned with ISO 18593, it supports structured recovery of microorganisms from surfaces in production, laboratory and quality-control environments. Each sponge is presented in a vial, ready for surface sampling without a separate dry-rehydration step at the point of use. The pack contains 98 units in a box, a practical quantity for scheduled environmental monitoring programmes. Letheen Broth moistening facilitates collection from equipment, worktops and other contact surfaces prior to further microbiological examination. This SurfACE format from manufacturer Romer Labs fits routine hygiene-monitoring schemes where standardised surface sampling is required. Physical data include a boiling point of 100 °C. The complete pack weighs 4,201 kg. Designed for professional microbiological analyses on surfaces, the sponges help sampling teams maintain consistent preparation and handling during hygiene checks and related laboratory follow-up.

What is this article?
Sponge SurfACE LB, pre-moistened with Letheen Broth, 98 unit(s), box 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.
