eSwab®
eSwab® collection and transport system is our multipurpose media intended for the collection and transport of clinical specimens containing aerobes, anaerobes, fastidious bacteria, viruses and Chlamydia.
Product
FecalSwab™
FecalSwab™ is intended to collect fecal specimens and preserve enteric pathogenic bacteria’s viability to be processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for culture.
Product
SLSolution™
SLSolution™ is the answer to the sputum processing problem, as its mucolytic activity rapidly liquefies sputum without affecting the vitality and the morphology of bacteria and fungi.
Application
Gastrointestinal Infections
A successful forensic investigation begins with a proper sample, and proper samples are obtained using the appropriate collection method.

Microbiology Time – February 2022
It’s February, and it’s Microbiology Time! This month we selected an exciting paper on MDRO outbreaks during the Covid-19 pandemic and an interesting study evaluating the performance of different swab types and collection systems to recover CMV DNA from vaginal fluids and saliva. The third study selected is an exhaustive review of the advantages of full lab automation.
