FECAL TRANSWAB®

The MWE FECAL TRANSWAB® is a convenient system for transporting faecal samples in small instrument-ready tubes, saving space, and making it easier to transport to laboratories.

It enables rectal sampling which has benefits, particularly in paediatric patients.

In addition, it simplifies and standardises stool sample collection, transport, and processing by converting solid or semi-solid specimens into liquid phase, in primary tubes, to facilitate automated faecal sample processing.

Proven to work with PCR systems and molecular techniques, detecting enteric pathogens. Molecular screening in the routine detection of enteric bacterial pathogens has proven to improve turnaround times, cost efficiency, and reduce clinical waste.

The diagnostics industry should make the most of molecular platforms for efficient handling, transport, and detection of pathogen for faster results.
