Automation
The product that made automation possible
WASP®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. It can be used for the preservation of bacterial, viral or Chlamydial antigens and nucleic acids from swab spedimens for five days when stored at room temperature, 7 days if stored at 4°C and up to 6 months when stored at -20° C.
