Whirl-Pak® Hydrated PolySponge™ Bags

Make environmental surface sampling faster and easier with these pre-moistened bags. Durable high-density polyurethane sponge is ready to use and resists tearing and fraying. Each sponge is packed in a sealed 18-oz (532 ml) write-on bag and is hydrated with 16 ml of HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth. Terminally gamma processed to guarantee sterility.  Bags are 9"L x 4"W (11.5 x 23 cm) with a thickness of 2.5 mils (.064 mm). Two-year shelf-life with ambient storage at 36 to 86°F (2 to 30°C).  

To use the sponge, tear open the top of the Whirl-Pak bag, squeeze out any excess HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth, swab the surface, insert the sponge back into the bag, fold the top of the bag over three or more times, and bend in the wire tabs to close. Send to a lab for testing.
