Boot Cover Swab kits are sterile sampling devices used to sample poultry litter for pathogenic organisms such as Salmonella. The Boot Cover Swabs are made out of a 5.9” x 5.9” (15 cm x 15 cm) biocide-free cotton-polyester blend fabric sewn in a sock shape with an integrated elastic band sewn into the top in order to aid in securing it to the boot. Available dry or pre-moistened with either skim milk or buffered peptone water, packaged in a twirl–tie lab bag. The bags can be opened easily with attached pull tabs and include a label area for sample identification. Boot Cover Swabs are  irradiated for proven sterility.
