FEATURES

Mantacc Amies Agar Gel Transport Swab

Simplify the transportation of clinical samples with Mantacc Amies Transport Swabs. The soft rayon tips of Mantacc swabs allow easy specimen collection while keeping microorganisms alive. The Amies 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 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 delicate aerobic or anaerobic bacterias while preventing desiccation.
  • With no glass ampules to break, these swabs offer safer handling and consistent performance.

About Amies Agar Gel

Mantacc Amies agar formula contains a balanced blend of salts, buffers, gelling agents, and other components tailored to maintain fastidious bacterial viability. Key ingredients include:
  • Sodium chloride, which promotes gonococcal survival
  • Phosphate buffers, which maintain pH control
  • Thioglycollate and agar, which provide an anaerobic environment
  • Activated charcoal, which absorbs toxic metabolic byproducts, specially good for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (why?).
  • Electrolytes like potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which regulate osmotic balance and cell permeability

Instructions

【Expected Cultivation Experiment】
Separately incubate inocula for 18-24 hours on Soybean Casein Digest Agar (DM247) and observe cultural characteristics. Use inoculum amounts of 50-100 CFU.
Recommended Quality Control Strains and Results:
Amies with charcoal culture medium:
1. Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 25285), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
2. Haemophilus influenzae (ATCC 10211), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
3. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (ATCC 43069), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
4. Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 19615), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
Amies without charcoal culture medium:
1. Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 25285), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
2. Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 19615), aerobic, 25-30°C 24 hours, good recovery in subsequent cultivation.
Verifying with these recommended quality control strains can confirm the Amies culture media meet the required performance standards.
