3M / Neogen Swab-Sampler RS96010LET — Sterile swab-in-vial with 10 mL Letheen Broth (Case/100)
Environmental sampling over small surface areas, Letheen Broth for quat neutralization, ample headspace for vortex mixing, gamma irradiated, made in USA, ISO 9001:2008, intended for lab use only
Overview
The 3M / Neogen Swab-Sampler with 10 mL Letheen Broth (RS96010LET) is a convenient and quick collection device for environmental sampling and testing over small surface areas. Sample collection is simplified with the attached swab, and the vial provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to help release organisms from the swab during processing.
Why it matters (neutralization + repeatability)
  • Built for quat sanitizer environments: Letheen Broth is used to neutralize the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds, helping protect organism recovery where quat residues may be present.
  • Repeatable processing: Ample headspace supports vortex mixing to improve release of organisms from the swab.
  • Secure transport: Engineered to safely gather, hold, and secure contents from the collection site to the lab without leaking or compromising the sample.
  • Program consistency: Convenient design helps improve sampling consistency from tech-to-tech and plant-to-plant.
What’s included (published)
  • SKU / Model: RS96010LET
  • Available Quantity Option: Case
  • Case Unit: 100 Swab-Samplers per case
  • Media / volume: 10 mL Letheen Broth
  • Format: Attached swab with vial headspace for sample addition and vortexing
Sterility & quality statements (published): Decontaminated through gamma irradiation for long shelf life; made in the USA; ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality assurance; intended for lab use only.
HACCP context (published)
The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach is widely accepted worldwide. Sample collection products are a crucial part of this approach to identify potential food-borne hazards and pinpoint where they reside. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are designed to test for a wide variety of hazards and deliver accurate results.
About Letheen Broth (published)
The primary use of Letheen Broth is to neutralize the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds, and for determining the phenol co-efficient of cationic surfactants per AOAC-referenced methods. Letheen Broth is also used in hygiene swabbing practices where neutralizing quaternary ammonium compounds is required.
Key features and benefits (published)
  • Letheen 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)
  • Large-area coverage: Use hydrated sponges for broad panels and tables, then reserve swab samplers for seams, gaskets, hinges, and precision points.
  • Infrastructure zones: Pair with sponge-sticks for drains, framework recesses, and other harborage points where swabs are inefficient.
  • Controlled-area support: Reinforce adjacent controlled spaces (QA labs, controlled staging) with Texwipe cleanroom wipers and swabs to reduce recontamination risk around verification activities.

Environmental Monitoring Quat Neutralization Small Surface Areas Audit-Defensible Trends
The core risk: “clean surface” does not always mean “recoverable sample”
Environmental monitoring is only as reliable as the recovery conditions at the moment of collection. In facilities using quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), residual sanitizer film can remain chemically active and suppress organism recovery. The published purpose of Letheen Broth is to neutralize this bactericidal activity, helping ensure your results reflect true environmental risk—not chemical carryover.
Why 10 mL media volume matters operationally
A 10 mL configuration can be advantageous for programs that need more working volume for consistent wetting and robust downstream processing. RS96010LET also provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing, supporting repeatable release of organisms from the swab during lab handling. When investigations occur, repeatability (not just collection) is what keeps trends defendable.
ISO-first execution: four controls to protect trending integrity
  • Location control: Assign fixed sample sites (equipment ID, zone, seam/gasket line) and do not drift.
  • Area control: Define the sampled area; use templates where feasible.
  • Technique control: Standardize strokes and pressure—especially in corners and hard-to-reach areas.
  • Timing control: Sample at consistent operational phases (post-clean, pre-start, mid-run, end-of-run).
Published configuration + audit-ready notes
RS96010LET is supplied as a case of 100 Swab-Samplers and is positioned for environmental sampling over small surface areas. The device is decontaminated through gamma irradiation for long shelf life, is made in the USA, and is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2008 quality system. It is intended for laboratory use only. For chain-of-custody strength, record sample ID, date/time, operator, exact location, sanitation chemistry in use, and any SOP deviations at the point of collection.
