Overview (published)
The 3M Swab-Sampler with 10 mL D/E Neutralizing Broth (RS96010DE) 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.
HACCP program support (published)
In food safety programs, including HACCP-based workflows, sampling products are designed to 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.
Why D/E Neutralizing Broth is used (published)
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. The product page states 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.
The listing also notes that D/E neutralizing media can neutralize higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials than several standard formulations such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer.
Benefits (published)
  • D/E Neutralizing 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.

Environmental Monitoring Neutralizer Discipline Small-Area Sampling Broad Disinfectant Coverage RS96010DE
The most common EM failure mode: disinfectant carryover
Environmental Monitoring (EM) trends can be undermined when surfaces are sampled after cleaning/disinfection and residual chemistry remains active. If that chemistry carries into the collection medium, it can suppress recovery and distort the true signal you are trying to measure. The RS96010DE listing describes D/E Neutralizing Broth as used when neutralization of antiseptics and disinfectants is needed to assess bactericidal activity, and emphasizes broad-spectrum effectiveness across multiple disinfectant classes.
When D/E is the right neutralizer choice
The product page notes D/E Neutralizing Broth is effective against a broad range of disinfectants and preservative antimicrobial chemicals, including ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine preparations, mercurials, formaldehyde, and glutaraldehyde. It also states D/E media can neutralize higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials than several standard formulations such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer. Selection rule: choose D/E when your disinfectant set is diverse (rotations) or when higher residual levels are expected at collection—always per your lab method and site SOP.
Why “ample headspace for vortexing” matters for repeatability
In investigations, the question is not only “did we sample,” but “did we release organisms from the swab into the medium consistently.” RS96010DE highlights that the vial provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. Operationally, that supports repeatable extraction, which is critical for trending across technicians, shifts, and plant-to-plant comparisons.
ISO-first discipline (and Annex 1 awareness): make EM defensible
  • Location control: fixed sampling-point IDs (equipment ID + exact surface descriptor) to prevent drift.
  • Area control: consistent sampled area (templates where feasible) to protect comparability.
  • Technique control: standardized strokes, pressure, and contact time; train to one method.
  • Timing control: sample at consistent phases relative to cleaning and production.
  • Chain-of-custody: document collection time, operator, and condition on receipt.
RS96010DE is described as gamma irradiated, made in the USA, and produced under ISO 9001:2008 certification, and is intended for laboratory use only. Use those published attributes when aligning supplier qualification, SOP language, and training documentation.
