3M / Neogen Swab-Sampler with 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water Broth — RS96010BPW (Case/100)
Sterile, ready-to-use collection device for small surface areas • 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) Broth • Attached swab + vial with headspace for sample addition and vortexing • Gamma-irradiated • Made in the USA • ISO 9001:2008 • Intended for laboratory use only
Available Quantity Option: Case
Case Unit: 100 Swab-Samplers Per Case
Sterile collection device: BPW 10 mL (published)
The 3M Swab-Sampler with 10 mL Buffered Peptone Water Broth (RS96010BPW) is a convenient, ready-to-use device for environmental sampling over small surface areas. The attached swab simplifies collection, while the vial provides ample headspace for adding the sample and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. Each unit is decontaminated through gamma irradiation for shelf-life stability, made in the USA, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality management. Intended for laboratory use only.
HACCP program support (published)
As part of HACCP programs, 3M sampling products help support hazard identification workflows from collection through transport. The secure, leak-resistant design is engineered to gather, hold, and protect samples from the point of collection to the laboratory without compromising integrity—supporting accurate downstream analysis, including a peptone water test when appropriate.
Why Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) Broth is used (published)
Buffered Peptone Water Broth functions as a diluent or a non-selective pre-enrichment medium to promote recovery of microorganisms that may be sub-lethally injured during food processing prior to selective enrichment and isolation. In this sampler, the medium supports resuscitation of organisms such as Salmonella or E. coli from foods and environmental samples. You may also see this referenced as buffer peptone water, which is equivalent in purpose.
Benefits (published)
  • Buffered Peptone Water Broth vial is ready to use for pathogen testing of environmental samples.
  • Swab reaches into corners and hard-to-reach areas for increased accuracy.
  • Convenient design helps improve sampling consistency from tech-to-tech and plant-to-plant.
  • Bottles have ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing.
  • Self-contained cleanroom swab and vial for increased productivity and efficiency.

Recommended industry / test type (published)
Recommended industry: Beverage & Bottled Water, Dairy, Food Services & Catering, Fruits & Vegetables, Meat, Pet Food & Animal Feed, Poultry & Eggs, Prepared & Processed Foods, Seafood, Water Testing
Test type: Environmental Test, Food & Beverage Test
Recommended pairings (common workflow add-ons)
  • Broader coverage: Pair with HS10BPW (hydrated sponge) or SSL10BPW (sponge-stick) for larger surfaces and utilities.
  • Neutralizer matching: If your sanitation chemistry requires neutralization, consider RS96010LET (Letheen) or RS96010DE (D/E) per your method.
  • Controlled-area support: In adjacent controlled spaces (QA labs, controlled staging), reinforce with Texwipe cleanroom wipers and cleanroom swabs to reduce recontamination around verification activities.

Environmental Monitoring Small-Area Sampling BPW Pre-Enrichment Trend-Defensible Data RS96010BPW
When to choose a swab-sampler vs. a sponge format
If your sampling point is a small surface area—gasket lines, hinge seams, control panels, valve handles, fasteners, or equipment crevices—swabs typically provide better access and repeatability than sponges. The RS96010BPW device is positioned for environmental sampling over small areas, with an attached swab for collection and a vial designed for secure transport and processing. Use sponge(-stick) formats when you need larger area coverage; use swab-samplers when precision access is the constraint.
Why “headspace for vortexing” is not a trivial detail
In many investigations, the quality issue is not “did we swab,” but “did we release organisms from the swab into the medium consistently.” The product page highlights that the vial provides ample headspace for adding the sample and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. Operationally, that supports repeatable extraction—critical when you are trending data across technicians, shifts, and sites.
BPW strategy: improving recovery before selective steps
The page describes Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) as a diluent / non-selective pre-enrichment medium used prior to selective enrichment and isolation, and notes that organisms may be sub-lethally injured during food processing. This is a practical selection rule: choose BPW when your method requires recovery support of stressed organisms (e.g., Salmonella or E. coli workflows) before selective steps. If your environment has disinfectant residues that must be neutralized, choose a neutralizing medium (e.g., Letheen or D/E) per your disinfectant set and lab method.
ISO-first discipline (and Annex 1 awareness): what makes results defensible
  • Location control: fixed sampling-point IDs (equipment ID + exact surface descriptor) to prevent “sampling drift.”
  • Area control: define a consistent sampled area (templates where feasible) so results remain comparable.
  • Technique control: standardize strokes, pressure, and dwell time; keep contact time consistent.
  • Timing control: sample at the same operational phase relative to cleaning and production.
  • Chain-of-custody: document collection time, refrigeration start time (if used), and condition on receipt.
The listing also states the unit is gamma irradiated, made in the USA, and produced under ISO 9001:2008, and is intended for laboratory use only—all useful when aligning your SOP, training, and supplier qualification documentation.
