Description

Culture Swab System, Amies Gel, No Charcoal, Double Swab is designed for the collection and transport of clinical specimens for microbiological analysis. The system supports reliable sampling of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms, ensuring enhanced recovery performance compared to standard transport media. The dual-swab configuration allows efficient specimen collection from multiple sites or repeated sampling when required.

The transport tube contains a 5 mL Amies agar gel medium formulated with oxygen-scavenging agents to help maintain organism viability during transit. The absence of charcoal reduces interference in downstream laboratory analysis while preserving optimal microbial recovery conditions. The nontoxic media reservoir ensures safe handling and transport of clinical specimens.

The system features a tamper-evident seal and a double-action security cap designed to maintain specimen integrity and prevent leakage or contamination. Nitrogen-flushed packaging further enhances performance by reducing oxidative exposure and supporting stability of sensitive microorganisms during storage and transport. The latex-free construction improves safety in environments with latex sensitivity concerns.
