Streamline clinical sampling with Copan's patented ESwab kits, powered with innovative FLOQSwabs technology. ESwab combines a Copan-invented flocked swab with 1mL of Liquid Amies in a plastic, screw cap tube. The innovative system elutes over 90% of patient specimen into the liquid medium1. The result is evidence-based, improved pathogen recovery, expanded testing capabilities, and better patient care.

Features

• With regular swab and capture cap.
• Sampling sites - nose, throat, vagina and wounds.
• Suitable for automation - the only liquid transport swab system that allows for automated specimen processing.
