Overview
The 3M Sponge-Stick (SSL100) is engineered for accurate and efficient environmental surface sampling. It is designed to reduce preparation time and minimize handling, and comes pre-packaged with a sterile sample bag to support contamination control in critical environments. The sampling head is a 1.5" × 3" biocide-free cellulose sponge mounted on a rigid stick to help preserve sample integrity by reducing contact with the interior of the bag.
Designed for hard-to-reach areas (published)
The thumb-stop and snap-off stick design help reduce cross-contamination risk during collection and make it easier to sample drains, pipes, and behind equipment. The cellulose sponge is described as highly absorbent, retaining the sample without excessive dripping. While SSL100 is dry by design, it can be paired with in-house or pre-mixed enrichment solutions to adapt to your sampling requirements.
Built for traceability and transport
Each unit includes a 3M-printed sample bag with a writable surface to support labeling and traceability. The included 6" × 11" sample bag is listed with a 30 oz / 0.89 L capacity for safe, convenient transportation to the lab.
Decontamination + quality (published)
The sponge-stick is described as gamma-irradiated, made in the USA with globally sourced materials, and ISO 9001:2008 certified for quality control—supporting consistent use in repeatable environmental monitoring programs.
