Product Summary: «

The BBL CultureSwab EZ/BBL CultureSwab EZ II Systems are self-contained, ready-to-use specimen collection systems that provide a simplified method for the transport and maintenance of viable microorganisms. The devices incorporate one or two polyurethane-tipped swabs on plastic shafts secured to a cap. The swab(s) contained within the cap is inserted into a tube. Studies have shown that BBL CultureSwab EZ/BBL CultureSwab EZ II Systems yield equivalent results as compared to traditional fiber-tipped collection swabs placed in transport media.1

For isolation and identification of aerobic microorganisms, the specimen must be removed from the transport container and cultured on appropriate media or processed as appropriate for other microbiological procedures.2-4
