Description

  • Sample collection pack containing - polypropylene 12 X 80 mm screw-cap tube with internal conical shape, filled with 2 Ml of cary-blair medium and one regular size Nylon flocked swab
  • FecalSwab comprises of a regular Copan FloqSwab and a shatterproof, screw cap tube containing 2 mL of modified cary-blair medium
  • Easy-to-use - using the flocked swab provided in the fecal swab collection kit, a small quantity of sample can be transferred into the tube by medical staff or by a technologist after the specimen has been provided by the patient; FecalSwab can also be used to take a rectal swab sample
  • Easy-to-transport - FecalSwab semi solid system simplifies and streamlines fecal sample collection, transport and processing, the shatterproof compact tubes, instead of bulky fecal specimen containers, save space and make it easier to transport to the laboratory
  • Less is more - Traditional fecal transport systems collect a quantity far greater than needed for culture or molecular testing, FecalSwab provides a more compact and neat alternative to large, bulky transport containers
  • Liquid based system - FecalSwab simplifies and streamlines fecal sample collection, transport and processing by converting solid or semi-solid specimens into liquid phase in standardized tubes; optimal for use on automated specimen processors - the fecal swab system converts solid or semi-solid specimens into a sample suitable for automatic specimen processors, in space saving, instrument-ready tubes
  • Safe, shatterproof polypropylene skirted tube - distinctive tube has an internal conical shape enabling centrifugation of samples, shape also allows tubes to stand upright on the laboratory bench
