A New Name for Our Best Selling Liquid Transport Systems

The popular combination of Puritan liquid Amies medium and HydraFlock® swabs which was formerly known as “Puritan Liquid Amies Transport System” for Aerobic & Fastidious Bacteria, will now be marketed under the new name, Opti-Swab™. "Nothing about our liquid Amies transport system has changed,” said Timothy Templet, Puritan’s Managing Executive Vice President. “The components and formulation remain as originally produced under the former name.” Opti-Swab™ incorporates 1ml of liquid Amies medium and is available in 3 configurations: standard, mini-tip, or ultrafine tip HydraFlock® swab for specimen collection. Opti-Swab™ is also compatible with both semi and fully automated specimen processing systems.

While the label is different, Opti-Swab™ transport systems are no different from the Liquid Amies our customers have ordered in the past, and therefore require no additional validation. For more information on the rebranding of this popular product, feel free to contact us.
