The next generation microbiological swab
The PUR-Blueâ„¢ swab from World Bioproducts is designed as the successor to traditional cotton and polyester swabs. The polyurethane foam tip provides significantly better recovery of microorganisms from surfaces, while the flexible blue handle provides access to hard-to-reach areas such as drains, crevices, and equipment corners.
Available dry or pre-moistened with various collection solutions, including HiCap™ Neutralizing Broth — an advanced collection solution that maintains the viability of stressed and injured cells for up to 72 hours after sampling. Sterile individually packaged for maximum product integrity.
