Liofilchem™ BIO-CULT Swabs with Cary Blair Medium

The Liofilchem™ BIO-CULT Swabs with Cary Blair Medium is a sterile, high-quality transport system designed for the collection, preservation, and transportation of enteric bacterial specimens. Featuring Cary Blair transport medium, this system is optimized for the recovery of enteric pathogens, ensuring bacterial viability during transit for accurate culture-based diagnostics.

Cary Blair medium is widely used in clinical, veterinary, and food microbiology laboratories for isolating and transporting bacteria from fecal samples and gastrointestinal infections. It is particularly effective in preserving Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, and Campylobacter species, making it an essential tool in public health, epidemiology, and infectious disease control.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Optimized for Enteric Pathogen Recovery

• Cary Blair transport medium supports the viability of enteric bacteria, preventing degradation during transport.
• Maintains the stability of Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, and Campylobacter spp. for accurate diagnostic testing.
• Ensures reliable pathogen isolation, reducing false-negative results in gastrointestinal disease detection.
• Minimal nutrient content prevents overgrowth of commensal bacteria, ensuring sample integrity.

2. Sterile, Ready-to-Use Swabs for Efficient Collection & Transport

• Individually packaged sterile swabs with a leak-proof transport tube to prevent contamination.
• Maintains sample viability over extended transport periods.
• User-friendly design with an ergonomic swab stick and secure, easy-to-handle tube.
• Ensures reliable workflow integration for microbiology laboratories and diagnostic centers.

3. Broad Applications in Clinical & Microbiological Testing

• Ideal for collecting gastrointestinal bacterial specimens from patients with suspected enteric infections.
• Commonly used in clinical diagnostics, veterinary health, food safety, and environmental microbiology.
• Supports pathogen isolation for culture-based testing and molecular diagnostics.

Use Cases & Applications

1. Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Disease Testing

• Ideal for gastrointestinal disease diagnostics, including:
  • Fecal sample collection for detecting Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, and Campylobacter spp.
  • Surveillance of enteric infections in outbreak investigations and public health studies.
  • Identification of foodborne pathogens causing gastroenteritis.
• Preserves bacterial viability for accurate culture and PCR-based detection in diagnostic labs.

2. Veterinary Microbiology & Animal Health Testing

• Used for detecting enteric bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals, including:
  • Fecal swabs from poultry, cattle, swine, and pets to identify zoonotic pathogens.
  • Screening for bacterial enteritis in farm animals to prevent disease spread.
  • Veterinary diagnostics and research on enteric pathogen transmission.

3. Food Safety & Environmental Microbiology

• Pathogen surveillance for foodborne outbreaks, including:
  • Detection of Salmonella and Listeria in food processing environments.
  • Fecal contamination monitoring in water and food products.
  • HACCP compliance testing in food and beverage industries.
• Environmental monitoring for microbial contamination in water sources and surfaces.

Storage & Handling

• Store at 15–25°C to maintain medium stability.
• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures that may affect bacterial viability.
• Use aseptic technique during sample collection to prevent cross-contamination.
