Oxoid Amies Agar Gel with Charcoal Transport Swabs are suitable for transportation of throat, vaginal, wound and skins swabs, and conform to the highest medical device classification - Class IIa 'surgically invasive transient use'.
The soft rayon swab tip, which is inert and non-toxic to micro-organisms, is submerged in 5ml of agar gel to provide maximum protection and improved sample viability.
The addition of charcoal to the medium neutralises bacterial toxins and other inhibitory substances, and has been shown to increase the recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
