Swab Sampler 3M RS96010DE D/E Neutralizing Broth 10 mL

The 3M Swab Sampler with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Broth is a convenient, ready-to-use device for environmental sampling and testing over small surface areas. The attached swab simplifies collection, and the vial provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. Each unit is decontaminated by gamma irradiation for shelf-life support, made in the USA, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 certification. Intended for laboratory use only.

In food safety programs, including HACCP-based workflows, sampling products from 3M help identify potential hazards and where they may reside. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are designed to move samples from the collection site to the lab without leaking or compromising integrity.

D/E Neutralizing Broth (developed by Dey and Engley) is used in disinfectant testing when neutralization of antiseptics and disinfectants is needed to assess bactericidal activity. This neutralizing broth is effective against a broad spectrum of disinfectants and preservative antimicrobial chemicals, including ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine preparations, mercurials, formaldehyde, and glutaraldehyde. D/E Neutralizing media can neutralize higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials than several standard formulations such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer.
