Collection, Transport & Preservation for Enteric Pathogens
Copan's FecalSwab® is suitable for rectal or stool collection by pairing our FLOQSwabs® flocked swabs with Cary-Blair medium for liquid-based sampling and transport. FDA-cleared for enteric bacteria recovery via culture.
The medium is designed to maintain the viability of enteric pathogenic bacteria during transit to the testing laboratory.
FecalSwab® Collection, Transport & Preservation System for Enteric Pathogens: 3, 4, 9
Sample collection and preservation for enteric bacteria
FecalSwab® preserves collected specimens for 48h at room temperature or 72h at refrigerated temperature.9
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.
FecalSwab® is an alternative to dry fecal containers and includes a non-nutritive transport and preservation medium.
FecalSwab® kits contain a Copan flocked swab which has no internal core to trap the sample, allowing for rapid sample uptake and elution.
FecalSwab® meets FDA clearance as a collection and transport system suitable for enteric pathogen recovery using traditional bacteriology culture. FecalSwab® is also in full compliance with CLSI M40-A2.9
Pediatric sample collection is simplified using safe rectal flocked swab rather than stool taken from a diaper, which contain material that may cause interference in some tests.5, 8
