DWS is an authorised distributor for COPAN’s Liquid Based Microbiology (LBM) range. In addition to the eSwab®, we are now able to offer eNAT®.

eNAT® is a sample collection and transport system ideal for use with highly infectious agents as it contains a detergent and protein denaturant. It can inactivate bacterial and viral cells, including influenza A, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Mycoplasma hominis, Neisseria gonorroeae and Chlamydiae trachomatis within 30 minutes whilst preserving the DNA/RNA molecular testing. Once the sample has been inactivated in this way, it can be stored for 4 weeks at room temperature, or up to 6 months at -20oC. This allows the sample to be stored for back up purposes and means samples can be retested, if needed, as opposed to having to take another sample from a patient.

Viability inactivation ensures extra safety during the handling, transportation, and processing of specimens, which is vital during pandemics.

  • Measurable and consistent uptake and transfer from patient to test tube.
  • Capture cap allows the operator to conveniently remove the swab using the cap as a handle to hold while manipulating the swab.
  • Safe and convenient moulded breakpoint.
  • Velvet brush-like texture rapidly and efficiency dislodges cells and allows complete dispersal in preservation medium.
  • Instant and spontaneous release into liquid media.
  • Made up of a FLOQswab® and either 1mL or 2 mL of eNAT® solution.
  • FLOQswabs® can be perfectly shaped for vaginal, endocervial, nasal, naso-pharyngeal and buccal testing.
  • Compatible with urine samples by adding 3mL of urine to 1ml of eNAT®.
  • Velvet brush-like texture rapidly and efficiency dislodges cells and allows complete dispersal in preservation medium.
  • Suitable for use in a wide range of downstream molecular platforms.
