The finest medium
Workflow optimization
The technical characteristics and unique formula make eSwab® an extremely versatile device that can optimize your laboratory workflow, and reduce costs.
Automation
The product that made automation possible
Not only eSwab®- collected samples are compatible with WASP®-automated processing: eSwab® is the product that has opened the door to the concept of Liquid Based Microbiology, the first step into the Full microbiology Lab Automation.
The one device
eSwab® allows for multipurpose testing, traditional and automated bacterial culture, Gram stain, NAAT, and rapid antigen assays.
FLOQSwabs®
Ensure a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and a
superior elution of the biological specimen, expanding
downstream diagnostic testing capabilities.
CLSI M40-A2 standard
eSwab® is compliant with CLSI M40-A2 Quality Control
for Microbiological Transport System standards.
Multiple testing capabilities
Thanks to its liquid formulation, it could be used to run multiple tests from a single specimen, reducing multiple sampling and stocking costs.
Versatile
eSwab® is available combined with single or multiple swabs to meet different laboratories’ needs.
Stability and Preservation
eSwab® preserved the viability of all the organisms tested for 48 hours at both controlled room and refrigerated temperature, except for Neisseria gonorrhoeae cultures which should be processed within 24 hours.
