Copan transport media
Copan transport media comprise UTM (Universal Transport Medium), ESWAB, UriSwab and Fecal Swab.
UTM is used to diagnose viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma and ureaplasma. UTM is delivered in different volumes with or without flocked swab. ESWAB is a liquid transport medium used for culturing bacteria and can also be used for antigen and molecular diagnostics. The medium is DNAse and RNAse free. ESWAB is supplied with various flocked swabs which quickly elute (release) the sample material into the transport medium. ESWAB therefore makes it possible to perform repeated tests using the same specimen (multitesting). Fecal Swab is a Cary Blair medium which ensures the viability of Enterobacteria. Fecal Swab is supplied with flocked swab for sampling.

Copan Swaps
Swabs are used for sampling with subsequent storage in transport medium for analysis in a laboratory. The design and quality of the swab are decisive for whether sufficient specimen material can be collected to identify any microorganisms. SSI Diagnostica supplies cotton swabs, pertussis swabs and plastic/aluminium swabs from our own production. In addition, SSI Diagnostica sells flock swabs (FLOQSwabsTM) from Copan Diagnostics in Italy (www.copanusa.com).
FLOQSwabsTM are different from traditional swabs, which bind the specimen and do not elute. FLOQSwabsTM act as a brush, with the sample material sitting close to the surface of the swab. This allows an elution of the sample material in the liquid. FLOQSwabsTM are available in 100-piece packs either individually wrapped in foil or in tubes.
