With Whooping Cough cases on the rise DWS are able to supply Pernasal eSwabs® and UTM® broths. So, whether you need sample transport for culture or molecular testing for Bordetella pertussis we have you covered.
The Copan swab collection is the gold standard for liquid based sample collection and transportation. This not only maintains the viability of aerobic, anaerobic and fastidious bacteria for up to 48 hours but is also designed to facilitate molecular testing.
The Copan Nasopharyngeal swab is thin, flexible, made up of FLOQ® fibres and specifically designed to collect samples from the nasopharynx. This ensures increased comfort for the patient and excellent bacterial recovery, resulting in a higher chance of first-time isolation.
