Environmental Sampling Templates & Spreaders B I O - P H A R M A Sampling Templates to Define Sampling Area Two sizes of sampling templates are available: 4 x 5cm (20cm2) and 10 x 10cm (100cm2). For flat surfaces, templates help define the sample size and allows the investigator to determine the number of organisms per cm2. With a defined and standardized sampling area this can be used to validate microbial bioburden in clean rooms and critical areas in which sterile drugs are exposed to the environment and in food processing plants to establish hygiene scores based on cfus per cm2.

Spreaders are used for performing bacterial cfu plate counts on water, milk, urine and other liquid samples. Copan T-Shaped Spreaders have all smooth rounded surfaces to prevent any cutting or gouging of agar during inoculation of culture plates. The T–Shape design means that even pressure is applied across the entire length of the T–bar in contact with the agar surface. Available in three sterile configurations: Single wrapped, five spreaders per pack and ten spreaders per pack. Sterile L-Shape Plastic Spreaders The foot of the spreader has a completely smooth rounded surface, free of rough edges and imperfections in the plastic. This feature enables even spreading of liquid samples across the surface of agar plates without gouging or cutting the medium.
