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

Frequently asked questions

Does this system improve laboratory automation efficiency?

Yes, it is highly optimized for automation. The system effectively converts solid or semi-solid specimens into a liquid phase, which makes the samples immediately ready for use with automated specimen processors.

Is the swab design effective for sample transfer?

Absolutely. It utilizes Copan FloqSwab technology featuring a nylon flocked tip. This design is specifically engineered for:

  • Efficient specimen absorption
  • Rapid sample release
  • Consistent transfer rates
Can these tubes stand upright on a bench?

Yes, the tubes are designed with a skirted base specifically to allow them to stand independently on laboratory benches, reducing clutter and preventing spills.

Is the tube material durable for transport?

The tubes are constructed from high-quality polypropylene and are designed to be shatterproof, ensuring integrity during transit compared to traditional, fragile containers.

Can this be used for rectal swabbing?

Yes, the included regular-sized Nylon flocked swab is versatile and suitable for both standard fecal specimen collection and rectal swabbing.

Does the tube support centrifugation?

It does. The interior of the tube features a conical shape, which is engineered to support standard centrifugation procedures within the laboratory workflow.

What type of transport medium is included?

Each tube comes pre-filled with 2 mL of modified Cary-Blair medium, providing a stable environment for the specimen during transport for culture or molecular testing.

How does this system save storage space?

The FecalSwab system features a compact 12 X 80 mm footprint. This space-efficient design significantly reduces the storage volume required for clinical and hospital settings compared to traditional, bulky specimen containers.

Is this product manufactured to high standards?

Yes, this product is factory new and manufactured in Italy, ensuring high-quality engineering and consistency for clinical diagnostic applications.

Are these kits provided in a sterile condition?

Yes, the FecalSwab system is provided as a sterile product, ensuring it is ready for immediate clinical use upon receipt.
