Transporting culture medium swabs – a powerful tool for collecting, preserving and transporting microbial testing specimens

Transport medium swabs usually consist of a swab head, a swab rod and a test tube containing a specific transport medium. They play a vital role in microbial testing and are a powerful tool for collecting, preserving and transporting microbial testing specimens. , the swab head is made of soft fiber material with strong absorption and release capabilities, which can effectively collect microorganisms in specimens, while the transport medium provides a suitable environment to maintain the activity and growth of microorganisms.

What is the transport medium?

Transport culture medium is a specially designed culture medium. It is mainly used to preserve and transport samples collected by swabs. It provides an environment suitable for the growth and survival of microorganisms and can effectively maintain the activity of microorganisms or bacteria for subsequent analysis and culture. or identification.

The main purpose of transporting culture medium swabs:

Widely used in the collection, transportation and storage of clinical samples from the respiratory tract, eyes, ears, nose and throat, intestinal tract, reproductive tract, urinary tract, oral cavity, wounds and feces.

Common clinical applications for transporting media swabs:

It is suitable for the collection, transportation and storage of clinical samples such as aerobic bacteria and facultative anaerobic bacteria testing, especially those suspected of Neisseria spp., pneumococci, Streptococcus, diphtheriae, Ureaphractobacterium urealyticum, and Salmonella Shigella. suspected sample.
