The easy-to-use Surface Swab Kit provides all of the necessary supplies to sample surfaces for bioaerosols that are deposited through contact or that settle out of the air onto surfaces where they can be re-aerosolized and inhaled. It is ideal for determining the relative degree and type of biological contamination in an area, and to verify remediation procedures. This non-destructive method can be safely used on most surfaces and materials.

Easy Four Step Sampling

Remove the sterile swab from its package aseptically.

Remove the sealing cap from the tube containing the sponge and moisten the swab tip.

Using a rolling motion, gently swab the desired area thoroughly. Templates are included in the kit for defined area sampling.

Insert the swab into the tube, replace the sealing cap, and prepare for transport to a laboratory.
