quid Based Microbiology

Liquid Based Microbiology Diagnostic Microbiology involves the collection of a diversity of samples from the patient to determine the etiology of diseases. Samples range from solids, like tissue, semi-solids, like feces, and samples of varying viscosity, such as sputum, pus, aspirates and urine. In addition to this range of different sample consistencies, a large proportion of microbiology samples are collected on swabs. The diversity of specimen types has always presented a particular challenge for bacteriology laboratories, with samples arriving in containers of varying shapes and sizes that...

Nasopharyngeal Sample Collection Step 1: Insert the FLOQSwab into the nasal passage until a slight resistance is Step 2: Rotate the swab two to three times and hold the swab in place for 5 seconds to ensure maximum absorbency. Strong capillary hydraulics between the strands of nylon maximizes sample Step 3: Put the swab in the UTM transport medium and break the shaft at the painted breakpoint. Sample elutes automatically and rapidly because it is held very close to the surface in a totally open structure. This does not hinder the flow dynamics so the entire sample is released.

Copan UriSwab is an advanced system for collection, transport and preservation of urine specimens from the collection site to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory, UriSwab specimens are processed for the cultivation of bacteria and Candida albicans, as well as for molecular Simply urinate directly onto the sponge applicator or dip into sample cup, insert the sponge into the tube, close and send it to the lab for analysis. No needles needed, no additional costs for disposal. ► Preservatives for optimal performance Boric Acid and Sodium Formate, polymerised into the sponge are activated on...

Advanced System for Collection, Transport & Preservation Optimal solution for the preservation of fecal specimens Medium formulation specifically intended to support viability of Suitable for both rectal swabbing or directly from feces. Smaller tube is instrument-ready and easier to transport. • Unique Flocked swab Guarantees adequate specimen collection and elution of the sample into medium. When opening the tube in the lab, swab is captured by the cap, for easier access to the specimen. Sample can be planted and streaked directly on culture plates or an aliquot transferred to selective enrichment...

^Sputum Specimens Active principle is Dithiothreitol (DTT). The mucolytic agent is contained in a sterile plastic tube. No rehydration steps are Extremely practical One tube - one specimen approach. Add an aliquot of sputum specimen to the tube with a transfer device and vortex; sample is now liquefied and ready to be streaked on culture plates, manually or with automation. Additional advantages SLSolution is stable at room temperature and has long shelf-life, thanks to the exclusive Copan active packaging.
