Rayon transport swabs are used in microbiology to collect and transport microbial samples to a laboratory for testing. The swab consists of a small, flexible shaft with a sponge-like tip made of rayon, a synthetic fiber that is effective at capturing and retaining microorganisms. To collect a sample, the swab is gently rubbed over the surface or body site. The collected microorganisms are then transferred to the laboratory by placing the swab in a transport medium, such as a liquid or gel. These swabs are used in clinical and environmental microbiology and other settings where the identification and analysis of microorganisms is important. They help accurately diagnose and treat infectious diseases and monitor the presence and spread of microorganisms in the environment.
