STX705PT Sterile Dry Collection & Transport System (USP-Grade Cotton Swab + Tube)

Texwipe STX705PT is a sterile, ready-to-use dry collection and transport system engineered for controlled sampling and protected transfer to the lab. Each unit pairs a 100% USP-grade spun cotton swab with a flexible polystyrene shaft, then packages it in a medical-grade polypropylene transport tube with a molded LDPE cap, cap-ring sealing features, and a tamper-evident seal to support sterile-at-the-moment-of-use workflows. STX705PT is commonly specified for bacteriological specimen collection in regulated or inspection-driven programs where traceability (lot code and expiration marking) and consistent sample handling discipline matter as much as the swab geometry itself.

Sterile-program note: STX705PT is gamma irradiated to a 10^-6 Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137, and case-level Certificates of Irradiation/Compliance are typically provided to support documentation, investigations, and audit readiness.

STX705PT sterile transport swab: controlled sampling and containment for aseptic workflows

Last reviewed: Jan. 6, 2026 | Audience: contamination control, aseptic processing, quality

Texwipe STX705PT is a sterile cotton swab system designed for controlled sample collection and transport in aseptic environments. The integrated transport configuration supports immediate containment after sampling, helping maintain sample integrity and reduce handling variability.

It is commonly used in workflows where defined sampling methods and controlled transfer to downstream analysis are required, particularly in environments where maintaining sterility and consistent handling practices is critical.
