3M / Neogen Hydrated-Sponge HS10DE2G — Ready-to-use surface sampling sponge with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Buffer + gloves
Environmental monitoring (EM), sanitizer carryover control, pre-hydrated biocide-free cellulose, 5" x 9" 3M Sample Bag, includes 2 universal-fit polyethylene gloves
Overview
The 3M / Neogen Hydrated-Sponge HS10DE2G is a ready-to-use, pre-hydrated sampling sponge designed to minimize handling and preparation while reducing waste. The sponge is biocide-free cellulose and is pre-hydrated with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Broth diluent to support sample collection when residual sanitizers or disinfectants could otherwise suppress recovery. The kit includes two universal-fit polyethylene gloves and a 5" x 9" 3M Sample Bag for safe transport to the lab.
Why it matters (neutralization + repeatability)
  • Neutralizer-aware sampling: D/E Neutralizing Broth diluent is designed to help reduce the impact of residual disinfectants on organism recovery (use per method/SOP).
  • Standardized hydration volume: Pre-hydration helps improve repeatability and trend reliability versus field-mixed hydration practices.
  • Cleaner handling controls: Included gloves and an integrated sample bag help reduce contamination risk and variability during collection and transport.
  • Audit-readiness: The large write-on area supports labeling discipline and chain-of-custody consistency.

Key features and benefits (published)
  • Ready-to-use: Simplified packaging helps minimize handling and preparation, and reduces waste.
  • Durable, absorbent cellulose: Withstands scrubbing and is designed to hold and release sample while minimizing excess dripping.
  • Transport-strength bag: The 3M Sample Bag is described as double laminated for strength, puncture resistance, and durability when blending or transporting.
  • Labeling discipline: Blue top + large white write-on area supports identification (date, time, and collection data).
  • Decontaminated through gamma irradiation: Both sponge and bag are described as gamma irradiated to maintain organism viability and long shelf life.
  • Quality statement: Made in the USA with globally sourced materials and ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality assurance.

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

Environmental Monitoring Neutralizer-Aware Sampling Trendable Results Chain-of-Custody
Why D/E neutralization matters in the real world
In most high-sanitation environments, surfaces are exposed to sanitizer and disinfectant cycles. That is essential control—but it can distort EM outcomes if residual chemistry suppresses recovery during collection. A pre-hydrated format with D/E Neutralizing Broth diluent is a practical control to help reduce the influence of disinfectant carryover (always use per your validated method and SOP). The goal is not “higher counts,” it is more truthful data that can be trended and acted on.
ISO-first discipline: control the variables that create defensible trends
Regardless of industry, ISO-style quality thinking expects repeatability. If your sampling method varies, your data becomes noise. Standardize these four variables:
  • Location control: Define zones and exact surfaces (equipment ID, drains, conveyors, interfaces, framework).
  • Area control: Use a consistent sampled area (template where feasible) so comparisons are valid.
  • Technique control: Standardize passes/strokes and pressure; 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.
Aseptic handling: why the “included gloves” is not a minor detail
Most EM drift comes from people and process variation: inconsistent glove use, inconsistent bag handling, or inconsistent labeling. HS10DE2G includes two universal-fit polyethylene gloves and a sample bag with a large write-on area so your process is easier to execute consistently and easier to audit. Treat bag opening and glove contact points as critical control points: open only as much as needed, prevent exterior-to-interior contact, and secure closure immediately after collection.
Chain-of-custody essentials (what to capture every time)
  • Identification: Sample ID, date/time, operator, site/line/zone, exact location, and requested test.
  • Sampling conditions: Note wet/dry status, heavy residues, unusual temperatures, and deviations from SOP.
  • Transport controls: Document hold time and any temperature requirements defined by your method.
  • Response plans: Define actions for excursions (re-clean, resample, investigation, CAPA, retraining) and link actions to results.
Published configuration (HS10DE2G): A biocide-free cellulose sponge pre-hydrated with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Broth diluent, includes two universal-fit polyethylene gloves, and ships in a 5" x 9" 3M Sample Bag (accommodates 30 oz / 0.89 L) with wire ties and a large write-on identification area. Case option listed as 100 Hydrated-Sponges (with Gloves) per case. The product page states it is intended for lab use only.
