Description
Flocked swab technology optimizes patient comfort during specimen collection and provides a more representative sample for testing including DFA, culture and molecular based assays for Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. The Multitrans medium and glass beads are held within a durable, polypropylene vial and capped with a skirted, swab retaining cap. The polyester tipped swab is scored so that it is easily snapped off into the vial; after capping and reopening, the swab is neatly inserted into the cap for easy, contamination free handling. The media vial and sterile wrapped swab are packaged in a sterile plastic peel pack. The media tube is available with: * Standard polyester swab * Standard flocked swab * Urethral flocked swab * Nasopharyngeal flocked swab. Flocked Swabs ensure superior specimen collection and release which provides a more representative specimen sample for testing. The flocked swab has nylon fibers, attached through an electrostatic process which promotes the hydrophilic nature. Multitrans can be stored at room temperature for up to one year prior to use.
