3M / Neogen Hydrated-Sponge HS10NB2G — Ready-to-use Listeria environmental sampling sponge with 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer + gloves
Environmental Monitoring (EM), Listeria program support, pre-hydrated biocide-free cellulose sponge, neutralizer-aware sampling, write-on label bag, includes gloves
Overview
HS10NB2G is a ready-to-use, pre-hydrated sampling sponge designed for environmental monitoring (EM) and surface sampling in food, beverage, and critical manufacturing areas. The sponge is pre-hydrated with 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer to support consistent sampling when residual sanitizers or disinfectants could impact recovery. This configuration also includes gloves plus a sample bag with a write-on label to support clean handling and chain-of-custody discipline.
Why it matters (controlled results you can trend)
  • Neutralizer-aware sampling: Neutralizing buffer helps reduce the risk that residual disinfectants suppress organism recovery on contact surfaces (per method/SOP requirements).
  • Ready-to-use standardization: Pre-hydrated format reduces prep steps, which reduces shift-to-shift variability and improves trend reliability.
  • Cleaner execution: Included gloves and a write-on label bag help standardize handling and labeling—two common sources of EM “noise.”
  • Program support: Purpose-built for Listeria monitoring workflows where repeatability and documentation discipline matter as much as the lab method.
What’s included (published)
  • Sampling device: Biocide-free cellulose sponge (pre-hydrated)
  • Hydration / diluent: 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer
  • Bag: Sample bag with write-on label (identification and traceability)
  • Safety / convenience: Includes gloves (supports standardized workflow)
Note: Align sampling locations, surface area, technique, hold times, and transport conditions to your site SOP and validated laboratory method.
Key features and benefits (published)
  • Ready-to-use: Pre-hydrated sponge minimizes handling and preparation.
  • Durable, absorbent cellulose sponge: Designed to withstand scrubbing and hold/release sample effectively.
  • Neutralizing Buffer: Supports sampling on surfaces exposed to common sanitizers/disinfectants (per method requirements).
  • Traceability-friendly packaging: Write-on label bag plus included gloves support consistent technique and documentation.

Recommended pairings (common workflow add-ons)
  • Hard-to-reach surfaces: Use a sponge-stick format when sampling tight equipment zones, framework, or recessed interfaces.
  • Controlled-area housekeeping: Pair EM sampling with disciplined wipe-down practices using appropriate cleanroom wipers and validated cleaners in adjacent controlled areas.
  • Documentation discipline: Consider pre-numbered location maps / barcoded sample logs to improve traceability and reduce transcription errors.

Sampling is a measurement system — treat it like one
Environmental monitoring (EM) is not “just testing.” Operationally, it is a measurement system. If the tool, technique, and documentation vary, your data becomes difficult to interpret and even harder to defend during audits or investigations. A standardized device—like a pre-hydrated sponge with a defined 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer—reduces variability and strengthens trend reliability. HS10NB2G also includes gloves and a write-on label bag to reinforce consistent execution and chain-of-custody discipline.
Why neutralizing buffer is a practical control
Many critical environments rely on sanitizer and disinfectant rotations. That is good manufacturing practice—but it creates a sampling risk: residual chemistry on a surface can suppress organism recovery during collection. A neutralizing buffer is used specifically to help reduce that risk (always per your validated method and SOP). In practical terms, neutralizer-aware sampling helps reduce “false comfort” from artificially low recovery caused by chemical carryover.
ISO-first execution: standardize the four variables that drive trends
  • Location control: Define zones and exact surfaces (equipment ID, framework, drains, conveyors, interfaces).
  • Area control: Use a consistent sampling area (template when feasible) so results are comparable over time.
  • Technique control: Standardize passes/strokes, pressure, and scrub pattern; avoid re-contacting non-sampled surfaces.
  • Timing control: Sample at defined timepoints (post-clean, pre-start, mid-run, end-of-run) so trends have meaning.
Chain-of-custody: make the lab result actionable
  • Label completely: Sample ID, date/time, operator, site/line/zone, exact location, and requested test.
  • Record sampling conditions: Note residual wetness, sanitizer residues, unusual temperatures, or deviations from SOP.
  • Control transport: Document hold time and any temperature conditions required by your method.
  • Pre-define responses: Link trends/excursions to documented actions (re-clean, resample, investigation, CAPA, retraining).
Published configuration (HS10NB2G): Pre-hydrated sponge in a bag with a write-on label, pre-hydrated with 10 mL Neutralizing Buffer, and includes gloves.
