Sponge Pole

• If sampling procedures require testing surfaces that are up high or hard to reach such as a window ledge, light fixture, air vent duct, etc., the Nasco Sponge Pole will make the job easier and more efficient. The adjustable aluminum pole is 6 ft. (1.83 m) long and extends to 12 ft. (3.66 m).
• To use: autoclave the sponge holder and slide it on to the end of the pole without touching the metal sponge clamp. Hydrate the sponge if necessary, squeeze out any excess liquid, and with a sterile gloved hand, insert it in place on the end of the holder. Extend the pole to the length required, wipe the surface with the sponge, shorten the pole, remove sponge, place it in a Whirl-Pak® bag, and send to the lab for testing.
• Pole includes pack of 10 sterile sponges.
