The Liquid Amies Transport Swab kit is the latest product to be introduced in the Probact range of transport swab kits from Technical Service Consultants (TSC).
CE-marked and CLSI M40-A-compliant, the all-in-one sampling kit contains liquid Amies medium (1 mL), ideal for maintaining the viability of aerobic, anaerobic and fastidious bacteria for up to 48 hours, together with a flocked swab for the reliable collection and transport of bacteria to the laboratory.
Probacts flocked swabs are manufactured using soft, varied length nylon fibres that optimise absorption and release of the sample, ideal for general sampling. The polystyrene shaft is flexible and has a convenient breakpoint so it snaps and fits easily into the prelabelled vial, where the ‘swab capture cap’ secures it for safe transport, analysis and disposal. Suitable for culture and molecular assays, each kit is supplied in a tamper-evident peel pouch.
