FecalSwab™ is intended to collect fecal specimens and preserve enteric pathogenic bacteria’s viability during transport to the testing laboratory. In the laboratory, FecalSwab™ samples are processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for culture.
FecalSwab™ is a modified Cary-Blair medium specifically designed for the recovery, preservation and detection of enteric pathogens, available with two collection devices: a standard flocked swab and a specialized one with stopper for the collection of anal, perianal and feces.
In the laboratory, FecalSwab™ collected samples are compatible with Copan WASP® automated processing and suitable enteric bacteria culture.

Fecalswab™ can be used by medical staff to transfer a small quantity of sample from the primary stool collection container, or to directly collect a rectal swab sample.
FecalSwab™ simplifies fecal sample collection, transport, and processing. Its shatterproof tubes are a compact and neat alternative to large, bulky transport containers.
FecalSwab™ is compliant with CLSI M40-A2 Quality Control
for Microbiological Transport System standards.
