How to Use the ESwab
How the Cap Captures the Broken Swab
Applicator
In the testing laboratory, the ESwab cap is unscrewed and removed, the swab applicator stick is securely attached to the cap. This feature allows the operator to conveniently remove the swab and perform various microbiology analyses using the tube cap as a handle to hold and manipulate the swab. Due to the flexibility of the shaft of the pernasal swabs (482C), the capture cap feature is not applicable, as the broken applicator may not firmly fit into the cap.
