Film shows compatibility in action
All Sigma Transwabs® and associated products (including multi-swab versions, Fecal Transwab®, Selenite Broth, and Sigma TSB™ with 6.5% NaCl) are fully compatible with a variety of automated processing platforms. This includes those which feature automated de-capping and recapping.
Microbiological collection devices are not the same
This study emphasises the role of pre-analytical parameters on the corresponding diagnostic results and also demonstrates that for best diagnostic outcome swabs should be chosen according to their performance profile based on a verification of the manufactures parameters.
As well as demonstrating clear differences between M40A-2 compliant devices the study also shows improved recovery rates for some collection devices if they are held at 4°C.
