Product Code : LSK-CL-11241
Sterile Swab Tube Cotton Tip (SKU LSK-CL-11241) is a cotton-tipped swab on a plastic handle stick, roughly 12 cm long, packed individually inside its own low density polyethylene (LDPE) tube. It is intended for taking swab samples and suits specimen collection practicals in medical laboratory technology, microbiology and nursing courses. Training labs, colleges, tender contractors and distributors can source the swabs through Science Lab Supplies, whose dispatch point is in Ambala, India.
Specifications
Here are the cotton-tip swab's specifications, one per row. In essence, every swab is a cotton tip on a plastic handle stick of approximately 12 cm, supplied sterile and individually packed in an LDPE tube, so the tube serves as both the packaging and the holder for the swab after a sample is taken.

Applications and Experiments for the Cotton Tip Swab Tube
The swab is used to pick up a sample from a surface or collection site with its cotton tip and return it to the LDPE tube for carriage to the bench. Because each swab has its own tube, a sample can be taken, enclosed and labelled without handling other swabs in the pack.
- B.Sc. Microbiology and DMLT: swab sampling followed by streaking onto media in a Petri Dish.
- Medical laboratory technology: preparing a smear from a swab on a slide and covering it with a Cover Glass Slide.
- Nursing and allied health training: practising specimen collection, labelling and hand-over to the laboratory.
- Environmental and surface sampling exercises in college microbiology labs.
Keep each swab sealed in its tube until the moment of sampling, and touch only the handle end.
