Anaerobic Transport Systems Transport Swabs Overview 

Copan produces three different product lines that support anaerobic bacteria: Amies Gel, M40 Tranysystem and ESwab.

  Unique Venturi hourglass tube design prevents disintegration or breakdown of gel column during specimen transport and it eliminates air pockets harmful to fastidious bacteria

  5 ml deep gel column affords maximum specimen protection and improves sample viability

  No glass ampoules to break, no seals or barriers to puncture

  No dry swabs

  Capsulated environment in the bottom of the tube seals and protects bacteria

  Stringent QC of raw materials and finished product guarantees performance and very low level non-viable bacteria
