Effective Collection The Bode SecurSwab Collector is faster and more reliable than traditional methods because it’s easier to open, hold, use and reseal. The Protective Tube that acts as a handle during collection. The reinforced shaft allows the user to collect a more thorough sample.
Sample Protection The integrated desiccant eliminates the need to air dry most samples. After collection, the reversible square cap can be flipped over so that the sample is protected during transport and short-term storage. The reinforced shaft allows the swab head to be snapped off during processing. The reduction in handling reduces the risk of contamination.
Semi-Automated Processing at the Lab The Bode SecurSwab Collector offers the feature of semi-automated processing once the samples are received by the lab by eliminating the need to cut the cotton swab with scissors for sample processing.
This saves time and prevents contamination during sample processing.
To process, the swab is simply placed directly into a tube at a 45 degree angle and is easily snapped off.
