Dual Purpose Medium for collection, transport and preservation of bacteria and viruses
MSwab® is a true all-round pre-analytical device designed for optimized compatibility with molecular platforms, allowing backup culturing of bacteria and viruses.
Versatility
One tube, multiple possibilities
MSwab® medium provides homogeneous aliquots of the sample suspension to run multiple tests from the same tube.
In the laboratory, specimens collected in MSwab® can be analyzed using standard clinical procedures for bacterial culture of aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive microorganisms, Viral culture of HSV 1 HSV 2 viruses, and viral and bacterial nucleic acid detection.
Molecular biology made fast
MSwab® proprietary formulation makes the processing of samples for NAAT assays easy and rapid.
FLOQSwabs®
Ensure a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and a superior elution of the biological specimen, expanding downstream diagnostic testing capabilities.
Direct nucleic acids extraction
MSwab® enables the preparation of a crude lysate in less than 5 minutes and a rapid direct nucleic acid heat extraction, eliminating the need for a purification step.
Directly in your assay
After extraction, MSwab® collected samples can be aliquoted directly into your Master Mix, making direct molecular assays even faster.
DNA &RNA stabilization
MSwab® preserves specimens for bacterial or viral investigations up to 48h when stored at room or refrigerated temperature.
