Collection and Preservation System for Molecular Assays and Gram-Positive Bacteria
MSwab® is a collection, transport and preservation system designed for rapid direct nucleic acid heat extraction for real-time PCR and isothermal amplification for molecular assays.
MSwab® is intended for the collection and transport of clinical specimens containing:
For the following downstream applications:
MSwab® is not suitable for:
MSwab® has the advantage of enabling reflex culture for traditional culture of gram-positive aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria.
MSwab® generates crude lysates in under 5 minutes, enabling direct heat extraction of nucleic acids while eliminating lengthy purification steps.
Post-extraction, MSwab® specimens aliquot directly into Master Mixes, making direct molecular assays even faster.
MSwab® media is developed to prevent RNA/DNA degradation, preserving samples for PCR and molecular assays for bacterial or viral investigations.
Ensure a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and a superior elution of the biological specimen, expanding downstream diagnostic testing capabilities.
MSwab® enables bacterial culture of aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-positive microorganisms, viral culture of HSV1/2, and viral/bacterial nucleic acid detection using standard clinical procedures.
MSwab® pairs COPAN's patented FLOQSwabs® flocked collection swabs with a proprietary media developed to prevent RNA/DNA degradation of samples for PCR and molecular assays. MSwab™ is qualified for the Roche cobas® 4800 System for MRSA/SA and HSV 1 & 2.
MSwab® medium homogeneously suspends specimens, enabling multiple assays from a single sample aliquot. Combined with Copan's patented FLOQSwabs® for complete elution, MSwab® creates a versatile testing solution from one tube.
