The iSWAB-Respiratory Tract Sample Collection Media-Extraction device is intended for the stabilization and inactivation of upper respiratory and saliva human specimens suspected of containing SARS-CoV-2. This device can be used for the collection, transport, and storage of specimens at ambient temperature. Specimens collected in the iSWAB-Respiratory Tract Sample Collection Media-Extraction Less collection device are suitable for use with legally marketed molecular diagnostic tests.

The iSWAB™-Respiratory Tract Sample Collection Media-Extraction Less (iSWAB™ -RC-EL) collection device consists of a collection tube that is pre-filled with 800 µL of the iSWAB™-RC-EL nontoxic, stabilizing buffer and fitted with a proprietary insert. The insert is designed to optimize the release of specimens collected with swabs into the stabilizing buffer, creating a minimal footprint and allowing for swab-free transport of specimens. The iSWAB™-RC-EL collection device eliminates the costly and timeconsuming RNA isolation step from diagnostic workflows.
