Plastic applicator, regular rayon tip m40 Amies gel without charcoal
- 400 pieces: 8 vipaks of 50 pieces
- Sample sites: mouth, throat, vagina, wounds
Traditional swabs to collect and transport aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and viruses. M40 Transystem™ are compliant with the CLSI M40-A standard. M40 Transystem™ applicator swabs are manufactured using a unique bio-treatment process together with a careful selection of glue and binding agents, maximizing organism survival on the swab and subsequent release into the test platform or culture media.
One device for many uses
Transystem™ maintains the viability of the following organisms for 24 hours at both room and refrigerated temperature: aerobic and Anaerobic organisms – including Neisseria gonorrhoeae – Coxsackie virus B4, Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2, Influenza A, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Varicella Zoster Virus, and Chlamydia trachomatis.
Bacterial transport basics
A simple, low bioburden, device for every investigation. Just uncap, collect and recap the tube!
Unique Product Design
The Venturi unique “hourglass” design eliminates air pockets - harmful to anaerobe bacteria - preventing dehydration and breakdown of the gel column. Moreover, the plastic barrier and the VI-PAK metallic foil block oxygen entry, preventing unwanted oxidation of the transport medium.
Fields of Application
- Respiratory Diseases
- Gastrointestinal Diseases
- Cutaneous Infections
- Genetics & Microbiome
