CMSL4320116 Culture Swab Plus 50/pk
- The CultureSwab design optimizes microbial recovery by creating a microenvironment ideal for transporting aerobic, anaerobic and other fastidious pathogens. This environment is produced by a constriction in the lower portion of the tube, creating a venturi effect. The narrow configuration forces media to circulate back around the swab as it moves deeper into the medium, minimizing specimen exposure to the toxic effects of oxygen. (Note: The venturi effect applies to single swab formats only). Includes a round-bottomed tube; a nontoxic, rayon-tipped swab; a 5-1/4 in. (13.3cm) swab shaft; a security cap that creates a water-tight seal; an extra-large, preattached label; a tamper-evident seal; and the lot number, expiration date and product description printed on the tube and peel pack. CultureSwab is offered in liquid-media formulations (except Cairy-Blair, which is offered in a gel formulation). CultureSwab Plus is offered in agar gel formulations. Charcoal-free media make gram stains and direct antigen tests easy to read. The available addition of charcoal neutralizes bacterial metabolic products.
