  • 1ml modified Liquid Amies with unique Nylon flocked swab. Maintains viability of Aerobes, Anaerobes and Fastidious Bacteria for up to 48 hrs at room temperature and refrigerator temperature.*
  • Sample rapidly and completely elutes from the flocked swab as soon as it is placed in the transport medium.
  • Provides 1ml of sample suspension for Gram stain and multiple culture analysis.
  • Invention comprises unique plastic applicators with various molded tips correct for the human anatomy. Tips are sprayed with short strands of nylon fiber which bond in a perpendicular fashion.
