Swabs
Sterile sampling swabs are a key tool for collecting microbiological, clinical, and environmental samples for analysis or culture. We cover a wide range of swabs: from cotton or Dacron tips to various handle types (wood, plastic, aluminum), many available individually wrapped or in transport media (e.g., Amies). Do you need swabs for throat cultures, hygiene surface testing, or forensic samples? Find the sterile swab suitable for your collection and transport type here.
