Mantacc Cary-Blair Agar Gel Transport Swab

Simplify the transportation of clinical samples with Mantacc Cary-Blair Transport Swabs. The soft rayon tips of Mantacc swabs allow easy specimen collection while keeping microorganisms alive. The Cary-Blair agar gel maintains viability of aerobes, anaerobes and fastidious bacteria during transport to the microbiology lab. Trust Mantacc swabs for safe and effective sample transport.

Optimize non-fastidious bacterial sample collection and transport:

The inert, non-toxic rayon tips maintain sample viability during transit to the lab.
Each batch undergoes performance testing with diverse aerobic and anaerobic pathogens, ensuring adequate recovery rates.
Lot numbers, expiration dates, and tamper-evident packaging provide complete traceability and sterility assurance.
The smooth, bubble-free 3mL gel preserves facultative anaerobic organisms while preventing desiccation.
With no glass ampules to break, these swabs offer safer handling and consistent performance.

About Cary-Blair Agar Gel

Mantacc Cary-Blair formula contains a balanced combination of salts, buffers, gelling agents, and other components to maintain non-fastidious bacterial viability during transport. Key roles of the ingredients include:

Sodium chloride provides osmotic balance, preserving bacterial cell permeability.
Sodium thioglycollate is a strong reducing agent that lowers redox potential, inhibiting oxidative damage.
Disodium phosphate buffers the medium to maintain a stable alkaline pH optimal for bacteria.
Calcium chloride supplies cations to preserve bacterial surface charge.
Agar forms a solid gel matrix to support the bacterial sample.
Demineralized water dissolves and evenly distributes the components.

【Expected Cultivation Experiment】
Recommended Quality Control Strains:
1. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028
2. Shigella flexneri ATCC 12022
Quality Control Conditions:
1. Aerobic atmosphere
2. 48 hours incubation
3. Incubation temperature: 20-25°C
Expected Quality Control Results:
1. Salmonella: Able to grow colonies on subculture media (blood agar, etc.) after passage culture in Cary-Blair medium.
2. Shigella: Able to grow colonies on subculture media after passage culture in Cary-Blair medium.
Based on the expected results of the above cultivation experiment, it can be confirmed that the Cary-Blair medium meets the performance standard requirements.

【Precautions】
1. All clinical specimens should be treated as potentially biohazardous. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow laboratory and biosafety protocols when handling.
2. This product is for use by properly trained and qualified personnel only. Read and follow the instructions carefully.
3. Refer to CDC Laboratory Biosafety Manual for related regulations.
4. Do not use expired products.
5. Do not use products with damaged packaging.
6. Avoid excessive force when collecting samples to prevent breaking the swab.
7. Use sterile forceps to remove swab from bottle.
8. Sterilize after use and dispose of biohazardous waste according to regulations.
9. Do not ingest the modified liquid Cary-Blair transport medium.
10. Avoid freezing and high temperature conditions.
