Amies Agar Transport Swab, PS Stick, Viscose Tip, Blue Cap, Sterile, 100/Pack

Reliable specimen transport for accurate microbiological results.

The Amies Agar Transport Swab is designed for the safe, hygienic, and effective collection and transport of bacterial specimens to the laboratory.

Featuring a polystyrene stick with a viscose swab tip and Amies agar gel medium, it supports sample viability during transit, ensuring dependable downstream analysis.

Intended Use & Applications

This transport swab is intended for clinical, pathology, and laboratory environments requiring the secure transfer of bacterial samples.

The integrated transport medium helps preserve organism integrity for both aerobic and anaerobic pathogens, supporting accurate diagnostic outcomes.

Sample Integrity & Transport Protection

Each swab contains Amies agar gel formulated to maintain sample stability throughout transportation. The round-bottom polypropylene tube provides pressure resistance, while the polyethylene cap delivers a secure seal to reduce the risk of leakage or dehydration once opened.

Swab Design & Collection Performance

The long fibre viscose tip is engineered to prevent fibre shedding, promoting effective sample collection, adhesion, and release.

The flexible polystyrene stick offers controlled handling and is firmly bonded to the swab tip to minimise separation during use.

Sterility, Traceability & Regulatory Compliance

The transport swab is gamma sterilised and individually packaged in peel-open blister packs using medical dialysing paper and composite membrane layers.

Full LOT traceability, expiry dating, and tamper-evident tubes support quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and user confidence.
