Whirl-Pak B01245 Speci-Sponge® Environmental Surface Sampling Bags - 18 oz. (532 ml) - Box of 100

The Speci-Sponge system is designed for environmental surface sampling, allowing users to collect samples from equipment, work surfaces, and processing areas for microbiological testing such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli.

Yes. Each sponge is pre-sterilized and sealed inside a Whirl-Pak bag, ensuring aseptic sample collection and reducing contamination risk during sampling and transport.

The 18 oz (532 mL) refers to the volume capacity of the sample bag, allowing space for the sponge and collected sample, and enabling the addition of diluent or media if required for testing.

Yes. After sampling, the sponge can be processed directly in the bag by adding media, or squeezed and plated for analysis, making it compatible with multiple microbiological testing workflows.

These systems provide an all-in-one sampling solution, combining a sterile sponge and leak-resistant bag. The sponge is non-inhibitory (free of bactericides), and the bag design allows secure closure, labeling, and safe transport to the lab.
