Transport clinical swab specimens to the laboratory using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Amies Transport Medium. This is a modification of Stuart Transport Medium, introduced by Stuart et al. in 1954.1,2 Amies substituted sodium glycerophosphate with a balanced salt solution containing inorganic phosphate buffer to prevent overgrowth of contaminants3. This was further modified to include charcoal which neutralizes bacterial toxins and other inhibitory substances and increases the survival of gonococci in a transport medium4.

Transport clinical swab specimens to the laboratory using Amies Transport Medium with charcoal. Gonococci survive well in Amies Transport Medium w/ Charcoal for at least 6 to 12 hours provided they are not exposed to temperature extremes5.
This medium contains 0.3% sodium chloride for optimal preservation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts control the permeability of bacterial cells and maintain osmotic equilibrium. Phosphate buffer maintains the pH of the medium at 7.3 ± 0.2 (@25° C). Sodium thioglycolate and Agar provide a reduced environment favourable to a variety of bacteria6. Charcoal neutralizes metabolic products toxic to gonococci and removes the need for using charcoal-impregnated swabs.
