Features

Sample Stability

FecalSwab® preserves collected specimens for 48h at room temperature or 72h at refrigerated temperature.

Rectal and stool sampling

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.

Easy transport

FecalSwab® is a compact alternative compared with traditional, bulky fecal containers. Smaller sample quantity eliminates the need to vent the container.

Automation-Ready

Stool samples are easily processed on automated specimen processors, and automatic pipettors minimizing manual handling and mess and maximizing investment in automation.

FDA-Cleared

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.
