 A wiping template (left) was defined as 2 ft x 2 ft in area. A 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm square was traced to serve as the inoculation area. Within this square, five droplets of 10 µL inoculum were dispensed in an “X” formation. A sampling area 10 cm in diameter was defined around the inoculation area. The sampling area was swabbed with a neutralizing buffer saturated swab to collect residual test inoculum. This design was adapted from EPA MB-33-00 [24]
