When taking samples from the patient, great care should be taken, as the success of isolating and identifying the pathogens depends on it.
1. Open the swab bag and remove the sample tube and swab.
2. Perform the swab on the patient.
3. Twist and remove the cap of the sample tube. Be careful not to spill the transport medium.
4. Insert the swab into the tube until the red marked breaking point is level with the opening of the tube.
5. Break off the swab in the tube and dispose of the broken part for grasping the swab shaft in an approved medical waste container.
6. Close the sample tube with the cap.
7. Label the sample tube with the patient's data. Send the sample to the analysis laboratory.

As a general rule: the shorter the time between sample collection and processing, the better the processing will be.
