Each kit has a biocide-free cellulose or polyurethane sponge already moistened with transport medium, inside a 7.5 × 11.5 in TWIRL'EM sampling bag with a writing area and a twist-wire closure. Open, swab, return the sponge to the bag and seal it, with no hydration step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers four transport media: Buffered Peptone Water (BPW), Dey-Engley Neutralizing Broth (DE), Letheen Broth (LT) and Neutralizing Buffer (NE). Each broth is available with a cellulose sponge, with or without a pair of sterile gloves, or with a polyurethane sponge (without gloves). All are packed 100 per case. They're used in food and beverage QA\/QC, food processing plants, environmental labs and research laboratories. Labplas Sani-Sponge kits are available in Canada from Cambridge Environmental Products with CAD pricing and Canadian purchasing support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #d9d9d9; padding: 18px; margin: 24px 0; border-radius: 8px; background: #f8f8f8;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood processing plants\u003c\/strong\u003e: environmental monitoring and sanitation verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListeria and Salmonella monitoring programs\u003c\/strong\u003e where sanitizer residues may be present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood and beverage QA\/QC\u003c\/strong\u003e teams who want consistent, ready-to-use kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSampling crews who want \u003cstrong\u003esterile gloves packed with each kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResearch laboratories, universities and colleges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Sani-Sponge Pre-Moistened Kits?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35;\"\u003eReady to use, consistent every time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sponge comes moistened with transport medium.

The kits are also listed as DNase-free, RNase-free and non-pyrogenic (endotoxin limit 2.15 EU\/device). The sponge is free from biocides, so it won't kill organisms in the sample before testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35;\"\u003eBag, sponge and closure in one kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sponge comes inside a TWIRL'EM sampling bag with a writing area.
