Additional Product Information
The ESwab Specimen Collection and Transport System is designed for flexibility across a variety of clinical applications. With its unique flocked swab and 1 mL of liquid Amies medium, the system supports efficient recovery and handling of clinical microbiology samples. The device enables streamlined testing workflows, particularly when used with automated processing platforms. This ensures that each sample maintains its integrity throughout the specimen lifecycle.
