Product Description
3M / Neogen Swab Sampler RS9604NB — Sterile swab-in-vial with 4 mL Neutralizing Buffer for controlled environmental sampling
Ready-to-use environmental monitoring for small surface areas, neutralizes residual disinfectants (chlorine / quats), compact buffer volume, self-contained swab + vial, 100 / case
Overview
The 3M / Neogen Swab Sampler with Neutralizing Buffer (RS9604NB) is a ready-to-use, sterile environmental sampling device designed for small surface areas and targeted sampling locations. Each unit includes a pre-attached swab housed in a vial pre-filled with 4 mL of Neutralizing Buffer, providing controlled moisture while minimizing excess dilution during laboratory processing.
Why it matters (precision + neutralization)
- Neutralizing Buffer protects recovery accuracy: The buffer inactivates residual disinfectants such as chlorine and quaternary ammonium compounds that can suppress microbial recovery.
- Controlled buffer volume: The 4 mL fill supports methods that require reduced dilution while maintaining effective surface wetting.
- Self-contained system: Swab and vial remain paired from collection through processing, reducing handling variability.
- Secure transport: Leak-resistant vial design helps maintain sample integrity during handling and shipment.

Key features and benefits
- Neutralizing Buffer filled vial is ready to use for environmental sampling.
- Swab reaches into corners and tight interfaces for increased sampling accuracy.
- Compact liquid volume supports laboratories with reduced dilution requirements.
- Self-contained swab and vial improves productivity and consistency.
Recommended pairings (program best practices)
- Large surface verification: Use hydrated sponges for broad areas and swab samplers for seams, hinges, and precision points.
- Infrastructure sampling: Use sponge-sticks for drains and recessed framework where swabs are insufficient.
- Controlled-area support: Pair with Texwipe cleanroom wipers to maintain cleanliness in adjacent lab or QA spaces.
