Q-Swab is a ready-to-use sample collection and delivery device for environmental surface sampling
Q-Swab is a ready-to-use sample collection and delivery device for environmental surface sampling. Money and time are saved by eliminating pipettes and broth preparation required with other sample collection methods. Q-Swab broths are self-contained and gamma irradiated. When the Snap-Valve is snapped, Letheen broth is released down the swab shaft, neutralizing residual sanitizers and facilitating recovery of bacteria. The sample is then ready to be poured onto dehydrated media film or streaked onto agar plates for culturing. Q-Swab can be used either wet or dry to sample environmental surfaces. Simply swab, snap, and squeeze, and a sample is ready.
