Our Transport Swab Collection Swab is carefully engineered to sample clinical microbiological specimens such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses. This swab has dimensions of Ø2.2 × 150 mm (6 inches) with a tip that is about Ø5 mm which enables non-contaminating and gentle collection. It includes a polypropylene (PP) non-breakable tube of high-grade plastic, Ø13 × 150 mm, that provides secure non-contaminative storage and transport, enabling sample integrity.

It uses a nontoxic, soft, and round tip that is shred resistant and fiberless to ensure minimal contamination during use. The extra long, flexible, and snappable plastic shaft enables clinicians and laboratory staff to reach deep or more precise anatomical sites with ease. For preventing accidental reuse, a tamper evident label is provided that ensures secure documentation.

Features and Advantages Over Other Collection Swabs

● Contamination-Free Sampling: With the rounded tip, foreign particles are not introduced ensuring non-traumatic specimen collection.

● Flexible Access: The bendable and long shaft is ideal for upper respiratory tract and urogenital tract difficult to access sampling sites.

● Durable & Safe: Refrigeration and transportation are made easier with the PP container, as it non-breakable provides robust protection.

● User-friendly Structure: Features a tamper-evident label that allows for traceability and guarantees one-time usage.

● Fibrous Tip: Minimizes the possibility of fiber detachment, thus preserving the integrity of laboratory results.

Uses in Medical Laboratories, Pathology and Chemistry Labs

Common FAQs for Transport Swabs & Collection Swabs

What is the difference between a transport swab and a collection swab?

Collection and transport swabs differ in scope. A collection swab is defined as the device used for specimen collection, while a transport swab is both the collection device and the container that ensures secure storage and transport of the specimen.

Can this Sampling Swab be used for viral and bacterial testing?

Indeed, this sampling swab is capable of both viral (specifically, COVID-19 and Influenza) and bacterial culture detection, making it useful for hospitals and pathology laboratories.

Is this Collection Swab compatible with automated lab equipment?

Yes, our collection and transport swabs will work without any restrictions with manual and automated systems processing in microbiology and molecular laboratories.
