3M / Neogen Hydrated-Sponge with 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water Broth — HS10BPW (Case/100)
Ready-to-use surface sampling sponge • 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) Broth • Biocide-free cellulose sponge • Includes 5" × 9" 3M Sample Bag (30 oz / 0.89 L) • Gamma-irradiated • ISO 9001:2008 • For microbiological testing
Available Quantity Option: Case
Case Unit: 100 Hydrated-Sponges Per Case
Overview
The 3M / Neogen Hydrated-Sponge with 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water Broth (HS10BPW) uses simplified packaging to minimize handling and preparation and help reduce waste. This biocide-free cellulose sponge is pre-hydrated with BPW Broth for convenient environmental and food sample collection.
Sponge performance (published)
The cellulose material is described as durable and absorbent, designed to effectively hold and release the sample to minimize excess dripping. The product page also notes the biocide-free cellulose sponge does not interfere with microorganism viability within 48 hours of refrigeration for Salmonella and E. coli and 72 hours for Listeria.
Integrated 3M Sample Bag (published)
Each sponge includes a 5" × 9" 3M Sample Bag that accommodates up to 30 oz / 0.89 L capacity for safe, convenient transportation to the lab. The bag is described as double laminated for strength, puncture resistance, and durability during blending or transport. Wire ties provide secure closure, and the blue top and large white write-on area support clear identification.
Why Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) Broth is used (published)
BPW Broth is used as a diluent or for non-selective enrichment of microorganisms such as Salmonella or E. coli from foods and environmental samples prior to selective enrichment and isolation. The product page notes that organisms can be sub-lethally injured by processing techniques and may not be recovered by direct selection; BPW Broth supports recovery of those injured microorganisms.
Benefits
  • Ready-to-use, pre-hydrated sponge reduces preparation steps and helps standardize sampling.
  • Biocide-free cellulose supports microorganism recovery during refrigerated transport windows.
  • 5" × 9" double-laminated bag supports durability and clear sample identification.
  • Designed to hold and release sample while minimizing excess dripping.

Recommended industry / test type (published)
Recommended industry: Beverage & Bottled Water
Test type: Environmental Test, Food & Beverage Test
Recommended pairings (common workflow add-ons)
  • Precision follow-up: After broad sponge sampling, use swab samplers for gasket lines, hinges, seams, and tight interfaces.
  • Controlled-area support: Reinforce adjacent controlled spaces (QA labs, controlled staging) with Texwipe cleanroom wipers and cleanroom swabs to reduce recontamination around verification activities.
  • Trend discipline: Assign fixed location IDs and keep sampled surface area consistent to protect comparability across shifts and technicians.

Environmental Monitoring BPW Pre-Enrichment Recovery of Injured Organisms Trend-Defensible Sampling
BPW is a strategic choice when organisms may be stressed
In food and beverage and general environmental monitoring programs, microorganisms can be stressed by sanitation cycles, temperature changes, and processing conditions. The HS10BPW product page specifically positions Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) Broth as a diluent / non-selective enrichment step prior to selective enrichment and isolation (including for Salmonella and E. coli). This matters because stressed organisms may be sub-lethally injured and may not be recovered by direct selection methods—BPW supports recovery before selective steps.
Why hydrated sponges improve repeatability vs. improvised prep
The “quiet enemy” in EM trending is technique drift: changing moisture level, inconsistent bag handling, variable scrubbing, and inconsistent sampled area. A pre-hydrated sponge format reduces variability by standardizing the device and the diluent volume at the point of collection. HS10BPW is described as simplified packaging that minimizes handling and preparation while reducing waste—practical controls that protect defensibility of trends across shifts.
Four controls that make EM data audit-ready
  • Location control: Fixed sampling-point IDs (equipment ID + exact surface descriptor) to prevent “sampling drift.”
  • Area control: Defined surface area (templates where feasible) so results remain comparable.
  • Technique control: Standardize strokes, pressure, and dwell time; train and verify competency.
  • Timing control: Sample at consistent operational phases (post-clean, pre-start, mid-run, end-of-run).
Add chain-of-custody discipline: document collection time, refrigeration start time, and condition on receipt to support the published refrigerated viability windows.
Published configuration + compliance notes
HS10BPW is supplied as a case of 100 hydrated sponges, pre-hydrated with 10 mL BPW Broth. The product page describes a 5" × 9" double-laminated sample bag (30 oz / 0.89 L) with wire ties, blue top, and write-on area. The linked SDS identifies the product as 3M™ Hydrated-Sponge with Buffered Peptone Water Broth and lists its recommended use as for microbiological testing. Use these published elements to align SOPs, sampling logs, and investigations with the device configuration.
