M40 Transystem line is the latest generation of traditional bacteriology transport swabs. It was designed to provide the ultimate performance capability with the most diverse range of fastidious aerobic and anaerobic bacteria including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, sustaining viability during transit or storage at room temperature and refrigerator temperatures for up to 48hrs (at least 24hrs for Neisseria gonorrhoeae). M40 Transystem performs in full compliance with the CLSI M40-A standard and is available in Liquid Amies, Liquid Stuart and Amies Agar Gel with or without charcoal formulas. M40 Transystem applicator swabs are manufactured using a unique bio-treatment process together with a careful selection of glue and binding agents that maximizes organism survival on the swab and subsequent release into the test platform or onto the culture media.
