Mantacc Amies Agar Gel Transport Swab

Optimize fastidious bacterial sample collection and transport:
About Amies Agar Gel
- 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
About Sampling Swab
- Oropharyngeal polyester swabs for high volume mucus collection
- Recommended for detecting respiratory viruses and bacterial infections
- Safe, non-cytotoxic, and sterilized by EO sterilization process
- Ergonomic, slender, and flexible handles for minimal patient discomfort

【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:
