The Use of eSwab® for Ophthalmic Microbiological Testing

Matteo Miriani, PhD, Senior Product & Marketing Manager

Scientific evidence supports Copan eSwab® for ophthalmologic microbiological testing, including conjunctival, corneal, and tear film sampling. The liquid‑based flocked swab system improves microbial recovery from delicate ocular surfaces and preserves pathogen viability for culture, PCR, and microbiome sequencing. Studies show reliable detection of bacterial and fungal pathogens, compatibility with high‑throughput molecular workflows, and reduced variability through standardized collection. By simplifying sampling and increasing diagnostic yield, eSwab® supports accurate clinical diagnosis, research applications, and improved workflow efficiency in ophthalmology laboratories.
