BD Sterile Specimen Collection Swab

BD Sterile Specimen Collection Swab is a dependable and adaptable equipment for the secure and effective gathering of various biological specimens. This sterile swab is perfect for clinical, diagnostic, and laboratory applications, assuring high-quality sample collection while reducing the danger of contamination. It is suitable for collecting specimens from a variety of locations, including the nose, throat, and other body surfaces.

Features:

• High liquid absorbency- strong capillary hydraulics between the nylon strands draw up maximum liquid sample
• Solid and semi-solid recovery- the velvet brush-like texture of the flocked nylon helps dislodge, collect and transfer solid and semi-solid materials
• Rapid automatic elution - liquid and solid specimens are held close to the surface between the nylon strands, when placed in liquid or onto solid media, they spontaneously drain
• Sample release- the swabs do not entrap samples because they do not feature an internal matrix core like traditional fiber wound swabs that disperse and ensnare samples

Applications:

• Clinical Diagnostics: Ideal for obtaining specimens for diagnostic procedures such as bacterial cultures, virus testing, and chemical analysis.
• Microbiology: In microbiological studies, specimens are collected and transported for cultivation and analysis.
• Point-of-Care Testing: Suitable for fast diagnostic tests carried out at the time of care.
• Research: Useful in laboratory settings to collect specimens for different research and tests.

Storage Instructions:

• Before Use: Keep the swab in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• After Collection: Follow the prescribed storage guidelines for the obtained specimen, which may involve refrigeration or room temperature storage, depending on the type of test being done.
