Specimen Collection and Transport

Getting a sample from patient to lab intact and properly identified takes the right supplies at every step. This collection covers that full journey - specimen containers for collection, culture swab systems that combine swab and transport medium in one device, prefilled formalin containers for tissue samples, and biohazard-marked transport bags for the trip to the lab.

Containers are available across stool, urine, and general-purpose formats, with sterile and non-sterile options, snap-on or screw-cap lids, and graduated markings where volume measurement matters. For microbiology and culture sampling, systems like CultureSwab, Culturette, and Calgiswab keep a specimen viable from the point of collection through delivery, without needing a separate transport medium step. Prefilled formalin containers are ready to receive tissue immediately, cutting down on prep time during collection.

Once a sample is collected, the specimen transport bags - with biohazard symbols and document pouches - keep it secure and properly labeled in transit, rounding out the workflow from collection through to lab receipt.
