Sterile Transport Swab with Amies Medium is a high-performance, sterilized sampling swab that comes with Amies transport medium for aseptic collection and short- to medium-term transport of clinical samples. Amies Medium contains an appropriate amount of inorganic salts and buffer system to effectively maintain the activity of bacteria in the sample, and is suitable for clinical tests that require bacterial culture and analysis.
The swab is equipped with an ultra-fine and soft polyester or rayon head and a sturdy plastic shaft to minimize patient discomfort while improving collection efficiency. Each swab is individually packaged to ensure sterility.

Q1: What is Amies transport medium? How does it work?
A: Amies transport medium is a semisolid, non-nutrient medium that maintains the viability of microorganisms but does not promote their growth. It is widely used in clinical microbiology for safe transport of specimens.
Q2: How to properly use Transwab Amies medium?
A: Gently swab the target area and put in the swab into the Amies tube. Break the swab at the breakpoint and seal securely. Label and send to the laboratory promptly. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Q3: What is the difference between Amies medium and other transport media?
A: Compared with Stuart or Cary-Blair medium, Amies medium is more stable to fastidious microorganisms and is less susceptible to pH changes, making it more suitable for more sensitive microbial specimens.
