Each kit has a dry, biocide-free sponge inside a 4.5 × 9 in TWIRL'EM sampling bag with a writing area and a twist-wire closure. Because the sponge is dry, you add the diluent or neutralizing broth your lab method specifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers three kits: cellulose sponge, cellulose sponge with a pair of sterile gloves, and polyurethane sponge. Each is packed 400 per case. They're used in food and beverage QA\/QC, food processing plants, environmental labs and research laboratories.
