Calgiswab Specimen Collection Swabs

Calgiswab swabs are calcium alginate collection devices built for reliable specimen gathering in clinical and laboratory settings. The calcium alginate fiber tip absorbs and releases samples efficiently, making these swabs a long-trusted choice for culture collection, nasopharyngeal sampling, and hard-to-reach anatomical sites where a standard cotton swab won't do.

Our current selection features the Calgiswab Nasopharyngeal Collection Swab, a sterile, single-use device with a 5.5-inch flexible wire shaft and a fine 2.8 mm tip. The thin, bendable aluminum shaft navigates the nasal passage comfortably to reach the nasopharynx, while the small tip size is well suited to pediatric and delicate collection procedures. Each swab is individually sterile-packaged and sold in cases (50 per pack) to support clinics, labs, and physician offices ordering in volume.

Because calcium alginate tips can interfere with certain assays?notably some viral cultures and PCR-based molecular tests?confirm compatibility with your laboratory's testing protocol before ordering. For nasopharyngeal specimens and bacterial culture work where alginate is validated, these swabs deliver consistent, contamination-controlled results.
