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.
