Copan eSwab® in the Collection and Transport of Fungal and Yeast Specimens

This white paper evaluates the performance of Copan eSwab® for the collection and transport of fungal and yeast specimens. Results show that flocked swab technology and liquid Amies medium preserve organism viability and morphology while ensuring homogeneous specimen release. eSwab® supports reliable recovery of clinically relevant yeasts and molds and is compatible with both culture‑based and molecular mycology workflows. By improving sample quality, flexibility, and standardization, eSwab® enhances diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in laboratories performing routine and specialized fungal testing.
