Available Quantity Option: Case
Case Unit: 100 Hydrated-Sponges (with Gloves) Per Case
Overview
The 3M Hydrated-Sponge with 10 mL Letheen Broth and Gloves (HS10LET2G) uses simplified packaging to minimize handling and preparation and reduce waste. This biocide-free cellulose sponge is pre-hydrated with Letheen Broth diluent for convenient sample collection, and includes two universal-fit polyethylene gloves to support safety and aseptic handling.
Sampling performance + refrigerated viability (published)
The cellulose material is described as durable and absorbent and designed to effectively hold and release the sample to help minimize excess dripping. The biocide-free cellulose sponge is also described as not interfering with microorganism viability within 48 hours of refrigeration for Salmonella and E. coli, and 72 hours for Listeria.
5" × 9" 3M Sample Bag (published)
Includes a 5" × 9" 3M Sample Bag that accommodates 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 when blending or transporting. Wire ties support secure closure, and the blue top plus large white write-on area supports easy identification and documentation.
Decontamination + quality (published)
Both the sample bag and sponge are described as decontaminated through gamma irradiation to maintain organism viability and long shelf life. The listing states the product is made in the USA with globally sourced materials, ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality assurance, and intended for lab use only.
Why Letheen Broth is used (published)
The primary use of Letheen Broth is to neutralize the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds, and it is also used in hygiene swabbing practices where neutralizing quats is required (per method).
HACCP context (published)
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach is described as a widely accepted food safety management protocol worldwide. Sample collection products support this approach by helping identify potential food-borne hazards and pinpoint where they reside—using portable formats, stable enrichment media, and secure transport from collection site to the lab.
Benefits (published)

Environmental Monitoring Quat Neutralization Aseptic Handling Trend-Defensible Data HS10LET2G
The EM problem many teams underestimate: sanitizer carryover at collection
Environmental Monitoring (EM) results can become difficult to interpret when surfaces are sampled immediately after sanitation. If residual disinfectant remains active, it can suppress organism recovery and distort trends. The HS10LET2G listing states the primary use of Letheen Broth is to neutralize the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds, and that it is used where neutralizing quats is required (per method). Practically: matching your sampling medium to your sanitation chemistry helps improve data defensibility.
Why hydrated sponges improve repeatability
Trending fails when technique drifts: inconsistent moisture level, variable scrubbing force, and inconsistent sampled area. HS10LET2G standardizes the device with a biocide-free cellulose sponge that is pre-hydrated with Letheen Broth, and the listing emphasizes simplified packaging that reduces handling and preparation. For investigations and CAPA, that kind of standardization improves comparability between operators and shifts.
ISO-first discipline: what makes surface trends audit-ready
  • Location control: fixed sampling-point IDs (equipment ID + exact surface descriptor) to prevent sampling drift.
  • Area control: consistent sampled area (templates where feasible) to maintain comparability.
  • Technique control: standardized strokes/pressure/dwell time; use the same pattern each time.
  • Timing control: consistent operational phase relative to cleaning and production.
HS10LET2G supports technique control with two included gloves to facilitate aseptic handling and reduce uncontrolled touchpoints during collection.
Configuration + chain-of-custody notes (published)
The listing specifies 100 hydrated-sponges (with gloves) per case and a 5" × 9" 3M Sample Bag with 30 oz / 0.89 L capacity, double-laminated for strength and puncture resistance, with wire ties and a write-on area. It also states sponge and bag are gamma irradiated, the product is ISO 9001:2008 certified, and intended for lab use only. To keep results defensible, document: sampling-point ID, operator, collection time, refrigeration start time, and condition on receipt—then maintain chain-of-custody through lab intake.
