Frequently asked questions

Does this system maintain sample viability for long periods?

Yes, the ESwab system is highly effective at maintaining viability. It preserves aerobic, anaerobic, and fastidious bacteria for up to 48 hours at both room and refrigerated temperatures.

Is the swab design optimized for maximum sample recovery?

Absolutely. The Nylon flocked swab tip is engineered to ensure the entire specimen elutes into the liquid medium, resulting in a homogeneous suspension that provides consistent and reliable diagnostic results.

Can this be used for automated lab workflows?

Yes, this is a major advantage of the ESwab. It is the only liquid transport system specifically engineered for seamless automated specimen processing, which helps laboratories significantly increase their throughput and efficiency.

Are multiple diagnostic tests possible from one sample?

Yes. Because the flocked swab creates a homogeneous suspension in the 1 mL of liquid Amies medium, the laboratory can easily aliquot the sample to perform multiple diagnostic tests from a single collection.

Does it comply with clinical quality control standards?

Yes, the system is rigorously tested and validated in full compliance with CLSI M40-A standards for microbiology transport, ensuring high-quality specimen integrity.

What is the benefit of the conical tube design?

The internal conical shape of the polypropylene tube is designed to optimize the handling of the 1 mL liquid medium, facilitating easier processing and ensuring that even small volumes are fully utilized for analysis.

Is the 80 mm breakpoint helpful for specialized sampling?

The 80 mm breakpoint from the tip end is designed for convenience and precision during specimen collection, allowing for easy handling and transport while ensuring the swab fits securely within the tube after the sample is taken.

Can it handle sensitive microorganisms like Neisseria gonorrhoeae?

Yes, the ESwab system has been specifically tested to confirm the survival of sensitive organisms, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, for up to 24 hours.
