Sterile Sampling Templates

For flat surfaces, templates help define the sample size and allow the investigator to determine the number of colony forming units (CFU) per cm².  A defined and standardized sampling area can be used to validate microbial bioburden.  This is important in clean rooms and critical areas in which sterile products, or soon to be sterilized, are exposed to the environment and in food processing plants to establish hygiene scores based on CFUs per cm².  

Sampling templates are available in two sizes: 4 x 5cm (20cm²) and 10 x 10cm (100cm²).

Plastic Spreaders

COPAN sterile T-Shaped and L-Shaped Spreaders are designed for spreading and dispersing liquids across the surface of agar culture plates.  Spreaders are used for performing bacterial CFU plate counts on water, milk, urine and other liquid samples.  COPAN Spreaders have all smooth rounded surfaces to prevent any cutting or gouging of agar during inoculation of culture plates.
