EZ
Collection and Transport System
Media-free Aerobic Transport
The BBL CultureSwab EZ and CultureSwab EZ II collection and transport systems
are simple to use and media-free. The patented polyurethane swab utilizes a special
polyurethane open-celled structure that protects and releases organisms from their
own environment. Like a sponge, the open pores pick up the organisms from their
environment and protects them in a state of homeostasis during transport. The
medium-free nature of the system prevents specimen dilution and nonviable
organisms that can be present with devices containing transport media.
Clinical studies have shown CultureSwab EZ swabs provide excellent recovery of
clinically relevant aerobic bacteria up to 48 hours after collection.
