Sterile Swab Tube Cotton Tip (Product Code: SLE/CL/34) is a sterile cotton-tipped swab on a plastic handle stick, individually packed in its own low density polyethylene (LDPE) tube, with an overall length of approximately 12cm. The swab is used to collect a sample from a patient or a surface and is then returned to the tube so the sample stays protected on its way to the laboratory. Hospital wards, clinical laboratories and microbiology teaching labs use swabs like this, and they are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab consumables supplier India-wide for clinical and educational customers.

Specifications

Typical Use

Sterile swabs are the standard way to collect material from wounds, the throat or the nose for bacteriological examination, and to sample benches, equipment and hands during environmental monitoring in microbiology. After collection, the swab goes straight back into its tube, which keeps the sample from drying out quickly or being contaminated in transit. In the laboratory the swab is rolled over the first part of a culture plate, and the inoculum is then spread further with a loop to obtain separate colonies.

Before use, check that the tube is intact; open it only at the moment of sampling and do not let the cotton tip touch anything except the sampling site. Label the tube immediately with the patient or location details. The listing does not mention a transport medium, so follow your laboratory's rules on how quickly swabs must reach the bench. In teaching labs, swabbing surfaces and growing the results on plates is a simple, memorable practical for students.
