Sterile Pack Swabs
Maximum sterility and double wrapped packaging
BD Sterile Pack Swabs are used to collect microbial samples in clean rooms,
isolators and other critical environments where the RODAC
™
(Replicate
Organism Detection and Counting) plates for surface sampling cannot be
used. The swabs are pre-moistened to significantly improve the uptake of
sample material particularly when sampling dry surfaces.
To analyze, BD recommends the membrane filtration method for the rinse
solution and placement of the filter on a 100 mm BD Sterile Pack Prepared
Plated media product (see package insert and IEST standard). However, the
pour plate method or swab method may be employed.
