Frequently asked questions
Does the nylon flocked swab improve specimen recovery?
Yes. Unlike traditional fiber swabs, the nylon flocked design is specifically engineered to maximize both the collection and the release of microorganisms, ensuring superior recovery for diagnostic testing.
Can this system handle fastidious bacteria?
Absolutely. The system uses Liquid Amies medium, which is formulated to maintain the viability of a wide range of bacteria, including:
- Aerobic bacteria
- Anaerobic bacteria
- Fastidious bacteria
Is the swab design optimized for lab processing?
Yes, it features an 80 mm breakpoint from the tip end. This precision design allows for quick, clean snapping of the swab shaft to fit perfectly into standard laboratory processing tubes.
How does the system prevent contamination during transport?
The ESwab system uses a secure, green screw-top cap on a transparent tube. This creates a leak-proof seal that protects the integrity of the specimen and prevents accidental contamination during transit.
Is the swab tip suitable for narrow or delicate areas?
Yes, it utilizes a mini-tip flocked swab. This specialized size is designed for high-precision collection, making it ideal for delicate clinical microbiology and diagnostic applications.
What is the primary material used for the swab?
The swab is constructed with a durable plastic shaft and a high-quality nylon flocked tip, chosen for its optimal elution properties in clinical settings.
Is each unit provided in sterile condition?
Yes, the ESwab Specimen Collection and Transport System is 100% sterile. It is designed for immediate professional use in clinical and laboratory environments to maintain strict hygiene standards.
Does the tube include fields for patient identification?
Yes, the transparent tube comes with a pre-printed label that includes dedicated fields for:
- Patient Name
- Hospital Number
- Age/Date of Birth
Where is this laboratory equipment manufactured?
This product is manufactured in Italy, adhering to the high-quality standards expected for professional medical and clinical laboratory diagnostics.
How much transport medium is contained in each tube?
Each sterile transport tube contains 1 mL of Liquid Amies Medium, which is the standardized volume required for effective specimen maintenance and elution.
