Just collect & snap – sample elutes immediately from FLOQSwab™ into the medium.
Can a swab really make sample collection better? You will get more sample from each swab with the patented FLOQSwab™ tip technology because the entire sample elutes immediately into the medium. There is less risk of contaminants and/or non-viable organisms than with traditional fiber swabs.
FLOQSwab™ also enhances patient comfort because fewer samples need to be taken. On top of that, there are specialized tips for children and for particular sample sites.
The BC+ tube from the LBM® range has calibrated vacuum action for safe transfer of blood culture samples to WASP®. Ensure safe, reliable and straightforward blood culture workflow for from collection to transport to streaking.
