ESwab Specimen Collection and Transport System

ESwab Specimen Collection and Transport System with an 80 mm breakpoint at the tip end is intended for the effective collection, preservation, and transfer of microbiological specimens. It has a flocked swab tip for better specimen collection and a liquid-based transport medium to keep specimens viable. The 80 mm breakpoint enables for simple and safe swab transfer into the transport tube, making it excellent for clinical diagnostics and microbiological research.

Features:

• Sample collection pack containing: Polypropylene screw-cap tube with internal conical shape, filled with 1mL of liquid amies medium, one white regular size Nylon flocked swab, one pink regular size rayon swab
• Multipurpose collection and transport system - ESwab is the only universal liquid-based, multipurpose, open platform collection and preservation system that maintains viability of aerobic, anaerobic and fastidious bacteria for up to 48 hours at refrigerator and room temperature
• Optimize patient comfort - Using COPAN's patented flocked swab (FLOQSwabs) reduces the need for multiple samples collected from the same patient
• Suitable for automation - the only liquid transport swab system that allows for automated specimen processing
• Multiple tests from one sample - the flocked swab elutes the entire sample upon contact with 1 mL liquid Amies preservation medium, identical aliquots of liquid sample suspension allow for multiple tests from the same specimen
• Consistent gram stains - the entire specimen elutes from the flocked swab creating a homogeneous suspension for a more precise and even smear
• Product tested and validated in full compliance with CLSI M40-A: Quality control of microbiological transport system standard, including neisseria gonorrhoeae survival at 24 hours
• With regular rayon swab
• Sampling sites - throat, faces, and wounds

Applications:

• Clinical Diagnostics: Suitable for gathering and transferring diagnostic specimens in medical laboratories.
• Microbiological Research: Used in research settings to collect and preserve microbiological samples.
• Public Health: In research settings, microbiological samples are collected and preserved.
