Swab based collection and transport for Faecal specimens

Features and Benefits:

• Fecal transport swab: Fecal Transwab® introduces a new method of collecting and transporting stool specimens that is both compatible with automated processing systems while offering faster turn round for manual processing.
• Recommended applications: Fecal specimens.
• The collection kit features a rectal swab (new design) together with a vial of liquid Cary Blair transport medium, in an easy open peel pouch.
• The collection vial contains 2ml of Cary Blair medium, specifically developed for the collection and transport of enteric microorganisms.
• The leakproof vial features a secure screw cap with integral swab capture, compatible with automated de-capping systems.
• Liquid medium format is compatible with automated processors, and more convenient for manual processing.
• Integral swab capture in cap.
• High absorbency cellular flow through foam bud.
• Directly as a rectal swab. The highly visible red marker line indicates the safe limit for swab insertion.
• Alternatively the swab can be used to collect material from a stool sample.
• When the cap is screwed on, the swab is “captured”, and remains securely fixed when the cap is removed in the laboratory, whether manually or by automatic de-capper.
