Description / Copan Diagnostics 480C - ESwab™ Specimen Collection & Transport System with Liquid Amies Medium Additive - 50/Box, 500/Case
The Copan Diagnostics ESwab is a liquid-based collection and transport system, a swab packaged with liquid Amies medium in a screw cap tube. It is made for collecting specimens from the nose, throat, vagina and wounds. It is sterile and has an 80 mm breakpoint from the tip end.
- Multipurpose, open platform system: liquid-based collection and preservation that maintains viability of aerobic, anaerobic and fastidious bacteria for up to 48 hours at refrigerator and room temperature
- Sampling sites: nose, throat, vagina and wounds
- Suitable for automation: the only liquid transport swab system that allows automated specimen processing
- Multiple tests from one sample: the flocked swab elutes the entire sample on contact with 1 mL of liquid Amies preservation medium, and identical aliquots of the suspension allow multiple tests from the same specimen
- Consistent Gram stains: the entire specimen elutes from the flocked swab into a homogeneous suspension, for a more precise and even smear
- Tested and validated in full compliance with CLSI M40-A, the quality control standard for microbiological transport systems, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae survival at 24 hours
- Liquid Amies medium additive, 1 mL volume
- Flocked swab tip with a nylon swab and plastic shaft
- 80 mm breakpoint from the tip end
- Screw cap closure; translucent tube with a white cap
- Sterile
- Sold as a box of 50 or a case of 500
