Stuart's Liquid Media w/foam

For transporting microbial specimens to the laboratory for culturing.

Peel open, remove the swab, collect the sample and insert the swab into the tube of medium. The tip of the swab is placed in direct contact with a soft polyurethane foam sponge. The sponge is soaked with 1.0 mL of liquid medium and acts like a moisture reservoir. As the swab is inserted into the tube the sponge yields and the medium is soaked up into the swab tip.
