BD VACUTAINER TUBE — SILICONE DRY 10ML 100U

About swabs without media: Collection swab without transport media for sample collection.
About swabs with transport media:
- Swab CE MDD Class IIa.
- Tube with media CE IVD.
AMIES media is a modification of Cary Blair media, which is at the same time a modification of Stuart media. Basically the glycerophosphate is replaced by an inorganic phosphate and the methylene blue by pharmacological charcoal. Calcium and Magnesium are also added, thus maintaining the permeability of the bacterial cell. This medium assures the viability of organisms such as:
- Neisseria sp.
- Haemophilus sp.
- Corynebacterium sp.
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- Streptococcus pyogenes
- Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Shigella flexneri
- Salmonella typhi
- Brucella abortus
- Enterobacterias, etc.
Some microorganisms can survive in the media for up to 3 days, although the recovery of microorganisms is better in the first 24 hours. Amies transport swabs are available with or without charcoal.
Swabs are sterilized by radiation. Expiry date: 30 months after sterilization date.

BD VACUTAINER® TUBE contains K2 EDTA applied by spray on the wall or liquid solution K3 EDTA, although there are no functional differences between the two additives.
After the tube has been filled with blood, invert the tube 8-10 times to mix and ensure adequate anticoagulation of the specimen.

Available in 4ml and 10ml, both in boxes of 100 units.
