Sterile Cotton Cleanroom Swabs

High-absorbency, audit-ready swabs for microbial sampling and aseptic cleanup.

Texwipe sterile cotton swabs are chosen when you need maximum pickup plus defensible sterility. The tips are made from 100% USP-grade spun cotton for fast absorption and strong sample capture, then bonded to either a wood handle (excellent chemical/heat resistance and autoclave safe) or a durable polystyrene handle for everyday sterile use. That cotton construction is ideal for environmental monitoring, microbiological surface sampling, and glove/personnel checks, where the swab must pick up and hold a representative wet or dry sample.

What makes Texwipe a safer sterile choice is the validation and documentation behind it. These swabs are terminally gamma-irradiated and validated to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶—the industry benchmark for products labeled sterile, meaning a one-in-a-million probability of a non-sterile unit. Each swab is individually wrapped, lot-coded, and expiration-dated, and packs are triple-bagged with a case liner (fourth layer) so teams can transfer swabs into ISO/GMP suites without breaking sterility control. Texwipe also tests sterile swabs for endotoxins, ions, and non-volatile residue (NVR) to keep background contamination low—critical for regulated sampling and aseptic cleaning.
