MicroSwab
A practical source for microorganisms
UP TO 4 PASSAGES REMOVED FROM THE REFERENCE STRAIN
The qualitative lyophilized pellet of a single microorganism strain inside a pen-like device.
This pen-like device contains a sterile swab and rehydration fluid to facilitate the transfer of the microorganisms directly to culture media.
The pellet has no defined CFU assay but a minimum of 1000CFU/pellet to ensure proper growth.
Use MicroSwabs whenever a defined assay value is not needed.
applications and test methods
The MicroSwabs show several advantages, which make them a great source for ATCC®∗ derivatives, if defined assay value is not required.
- Each lyophilized preparation is less than or equal to 4 passages from a reference culture
- The pen-like MicroSwabs are easy to use
- They can be stored at 2-8°C
- More than 400 different strains available, traceable to authentic ATCC® reference cultures
- A certificate of analysis for your QM documentation is included
Easy To Use pen-like MicroSwabs with a lyophilized microorganism pellet, re-hydration fluid, and inoculating swab
MicroSwabs are available in 2 packaging configurations:
- 1 pack - 2 swabs
- 1 pack - 10 swabs
MicroSwabs - there's no easier way!
- Do you know other products similar to ours? Then you may be aware of the following problems:
- some products also have a container of rehydration fluid inside a pen-like device. However, this container is made of glass; you have to apply a substantial amount of pressure to break it in order to rehydrate the lyophilized pellet.
- Other lyophilized preparations have to be pinched a homogenous suspension with the rehydration fluid.
- Our MicroSwabs are easy to handle. And this for the following reasons:
- With the following simple actions, you have inoculated your culture media
