BD Eswab® liquid based collection and transport system for microbiology swab samples BD Eswab® system elutes over 90% of patient specimen into the Liquid Amies transport medium. Multiple investigations can be performed from the same sample: Multiple culture plates Rapid antigen tests* Molecular testing* Flocked Swab Gram stains Why Flocked? Traditional Fiber Swab Flocked Swab Yards of fiber wrapped around applicator Nylon fibers are applied to applicator using a proprietary flocking process More sample available for testing Sample is trapped in swab fibers Sample stays on the surface efficiently eluting on contact with transport media How many tests from one sample? *Always read the manufacturer’s package insert for specific instructions regarding specimen collection and transport for the type of test kit being used. Multiple aliquots for multiple test

BD Eswab® helps busy laboratories do more with less Better diagnostics Flocked swabs paired with a liquid based system give way to quantitative, measurable and consistent sample transfer. Evidence-based research shows that samples collected using Flocked swabs improve test sensitivity, eluting more than 90% of the specimen. Reduce costs A broad range of testing applications eliminates costs associated with stocking and management of numerous collection devices. Patient comfort Clinicians report better patient comfort due to ergonomic, anatomic swab design and softer texture. Additionally, because...
