Sterile sample bags are ideal for surface sampling in a wide range of applications.

They provide a reliable method for monitoring potentially hazardous environments for the presence of microorganisms as well as foodborne pathogens.

Each bag includes a cellulose sponge that measures 3.8Wx7.6Lx1.6Hcm (1¹/₂x3x⁵/₈") when hydrated. Choose from a biocide-free, dry sponge or a foil-sealed sponge premoistened with a sterile buffer solution.

Bags are made of virgin polyethylene tubing with no side seals. They feature a wire closure for an airtight seal, wide-sealed bottoms for added leakproof protection, and a write-on strip. They are easy to use: tear off perforated top, pull tabs to open bag, fill, grab ends of tape closure and pull shut, twirl bag three or four times to seal, and bend ends of closure inward to lock the seal.
