The Amies Agar Transport Swab, featuring a polystyrene stick and viscose tip, is designed for the safe and effective transport of bacterial samples to the laboratory.Â
Each swab contains media to maintain sample integrity during transportation, with complete batch traceability and sterility ensured by the LOT number, expiry date, and tamper-evident tube.
Once opened, it’s essential to keep the medium closed to prevent dehydration. Performance testing on each batch includes various aerobic and anaerobic pathogens to guarantee adequate recoveries. The swab’s long fibre composition prevents fibre shedding during use, ensuring effective sample collection and adhesion for bacteria activity and release.
The stick offers flexibility and securely connects with the swab tip. The polypropylene transferring tube is flexible with pressure resistance, and the polyethylene cap seals the tube. The stick is affixed to the cap using special glue water and inserted into an aperture to prevent separation.
The swab is blister packaged in medical dialysing paper and composite membrane layers for safety during transport and storage. The swab material must be non-toxic to bacteria cells. The transport swab is Gamma sterilised and undergoes biological evaluations for in vitro cytotoxicity and delayed-type hypersensitivity.
