Copan - Model MSwab -Dual Purpose Medium Pre-Analytical Device
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.
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.
MSwab® proprietary formulation makes the processing of samples for NAAT assays easy and rapid.
Ensure a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and a superior elution of the biological specimen, expanding downstream diagnostic testing capabilities.
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.
After extraction, MSwab® collected samples can be aliquoted directly into your Master Mix, making direct molecular assays even faster.
MSwab® preserves specimens for bacterial or viral investigations up to 48h when stored at room or refrigerated temperature.
The combination of MSwab® with FLOQSwabs® expands your possibilities even further by ensuring an unmatched specimen collection in many anatomical collection sites. Discover why we call them “the perfect collection device.”
