Concentrating Pipette

A NASA-developed method: Large-area surface sampling (up to 1 m²) with wipes allows microbes to be recovered from surfaces and objects, the wipe is vortexed briefly in a buffer and concentrated with the Concentrating Pipette for same-shift results using PCR .

Application note:  Large-area surface sampling of critical spaces
