These bags are specially designed for sampling chlorinated water for example for Legionella testing. Each sterile bag contains a nontoxic, nonnutritive tablet containing active sodium thiosulfate to neutralise chlorine at the time of collection. The bag is EPA approved and has the additional benefits of saving time, utility costs, storage space, disposal costs, and replacing sample containers. With Write-On strip for clean and easy identification. Temperature range: -210 to 82 °C.

Made of highly transparent PP without additives. Ultra-thin PP ensures optimum heat transfer during amplification. Comprehensive thermal cycler compatibility. Reaction vessels with flat lids for Real Time PCR / quantitative PCR have matted lids for easier labeling.

Features & Benefits:

• Packaging labeling with production symbols for easier identification and storage
• Free of detectable DNase, RNase and human DNA
• Free of detectable endotoxins

Whirl-Pak® bags are sterile polyethylene laboratory sample bags used to transport samples for biological testing and other applications.
Temperature range -210 to 82 °C.
Made of black pigmented PE-film providing maximum protection for samples that are sensitive to light.

These gamma sterilised bottles are specially designed for taking, handling, transporting and storing water samples. Manufactured either as clear or amber colour from polypropylene. Clear bottles are manufactured from glass-like transparent special grade polypropylene. Amber bottles are manufactured from an amber coloured clear polypropylene which is higly translucent but still preventing the UV light penetrating inside the bottle. Square body form offers easy handling, and optimum space saving solutions during storage period. Wide bottle neck (GL 50) provides easy filling and pouring. Cap is made from PE with self sealing lock with integral security ring. Unique cap inner design ensures hermetical closure and guarantees an excellent leak and contamination proof bottle. Embossed graduation ( presicion of ±2% ) on side wall enables volume verifications. Each bottle is labelled specifying e.g. sample and source descriptions, code and lot numbers and expiry date.
Bottles with liquid sodium thiosulfate (20 mg/lt - acc to ISO/FIS 19458:2006 ) are ideal to analyse water meant for human consumption, swimming pools, and any other water where chlorine may modify the composition of the sample.
Empty bottles, without sodium thiosulfate ; ideal to sample water for physical and chemical analysis, as well as for other sample requirements that demands sterile bottles.

For environmental surface sampling of work areas and equipment. The natural cellulose dry sponge is free of bactericides and has been tested to be non-inhibitory.
