Stuart Swabs

Recommended for aerobic, facultative anaerobic, fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria possibly exist in the wound, nose,throat, nasopharyngeal, vagina or urogenital and skin specimens .The modified Stuart media originally described by Stuart, et al in 1948, for transporting gonococcal specimens to the laboratory. Currently, the medium has been proved to can also maintain the viability of a variety of specimens. In all cases, specimens should be cultivated as soon as possible or stored in the refrigerator if delay is unavoidable.

Stuart W/Charcoal Swabs

Recommended for aerobic, facultative anaerobic, fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria possibly exist in the wound, nose, throat, nasopharyngeal, vagina or urogenital and skin specimens .An improved Stuart medium containing charcoal, the charcoal on the media neutralises inhibitors and bacterial toxins, and prolong the viability of pathogenic organisms. In all cases, specimens should be cultivated as soon as possible or stored in the refrigerator if delay is unavoidable.

Cary-Blair Swabs

Recommended for aerobic, facultative anaerobic, fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, specially fecal and rectal samples

Another modified Stuart medium, use inorganic phosphate instead of glycerophosphate that can be metabolized by some bacteria, and raise the pH to 8.4.

The medium was effective in maintaining the viability of Salmonella and Shigella in fecal samples, and prevents bacterial overgrowth by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella

aerogenes. In all cases, specimens should be cultivated as soon as possible or stored in the refrigerator if delay is unavoidable.

Amies Swabs

Recommended for aerobic, facultative anaerobic, fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria possibly exist in the wound, nose, throat, nasopharyngeal, vagina or urogenital and skin specimens, especially suited for specimens containing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Another modified Stuart medium, replaces glycerophosphate with inorganic phosphate, and add calcium and magnesium salts for controlling the permeability of the bacterial cells and so contributing to their survival. This modified medium yielded a higher percentage of positive cultures. In all cases, specimens should be cultivated as soon as possible or stored in the refrigerator if delay is unavoidable.

Amies W/Charcoal Swabs

Recommended for aerobic, facultative anaerobic, fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria possibly exist in the wound, nose, throat, nasopharyngeal, vagina or urogenital and skin specimens, especially suited for specimens containing Neisseria gonorrhoeae .

An improved Amies medium containing charcoal, the charcoal on the media neutralises inhibitors and bacterial toxins, and prolong the viability of pathogenic organisms. In all cases, specimens should be cultivated as soon as possible or stored in the refrigerator if delay is unavoidable.
