Alpha Laboratories offers a broad range of swabs to help meet daily targets for COVID-19 testing.
In order to meet the required COVID-19 testing target, the UK Government guidelines on transport swabs make allowances for Laboratories to use alternatives to Viral Transport Medium (VTM), subject to local validation.
Swabs from Alpha Laboratories are suitable for collecting and transporting virological, bacteriological, serological and cytological samples. Swabs that are CE marked for IVD conform to the MDD 93/42/EEC for Class IIa.
Various packaging formats are available, from bulk packs that are ideal for diagnostic kit assembly, to single swab peel-packs for POC testing. They are manufactured in ISO class 8 or higher clean room conditions, under an ISO 13485 accredited quality system. They are certified free of PCR inhibitors, human DNA, RNase, DNase and pyrogens. Where swabs are marked as sterile this is by irradiation or EtO.
