Whirl-Pak® Polyurethane Surface Sampling

Make environmental surface sampling faster, easier, and more reliable with Whirl-Pak® Polyurethane Surface Sampling Sponge Bags. Crafted from durable high-density polyurethane, these sponges resist tearing and fraying, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of surfaces. The unique structure allows you to apply firm pressure to effectively break through biofilms, giving you more accurate test results. Each sponge is individually sealed in a sterile, write-on Whirl-Pak® bag and is available in dry or pre-hydrated formats. Hydrated sponges contain 10 mL of HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth, which protects samples for up to 72 hours before enrichment begins—providing you with more flexibility in your workflow.
