HiCulture Transport Swabs with Stuart Transport Medium, 50NO

Stuart transport medium was designed by Stuart for Gonococci (3). The medium is chemically defined, semisolid, nonnutrient medium which will prevent microbial proliferation. Because of composition of medium microorganisms are able to survive for a sufficiently long period. The medium provides sufficient anaerobiosis which is monitored by means of the redox indicator methylene blue. Calcium chloride and glycerophosphate provide a good buffering capacity to the medium and also maintains osmotic equilibrium in the medium. Sterile cotton swabs allow absorption of specimen material while polypropylene shaft allows semi flexibility to the swab stick, aiding in collection.

Application: Stuart Transport Medium is Recommended for Transportation of Neisseria Species and other Fastidious organisms from Clinic to Laboratory Containing Sterile Viscous Swabs. for Optimum Results, the Time Lapse Between Sample Collection and inoculum Onto Culture Medium Should be Reduced to the Minimum
