Keeping you supplied on the front lines

Swabs are a key element in medical and clinical practice and with the onset of COVID-19 they’ve never been in more demand. To meet these emerging needs ASIS Scientific is proud to represent the launching of a new range of swabs from Deltalab.

Deltalab specialises in pre-analytical labware and their ‘Deltaswabs’ were made with liquid flocked swabs in mind. These swab kits come with medias such as Amies, Cary Blair, ViCUM and Virus Media and have options for flocked swabs designed for urethral and nasopharyngeal sampling.

Deltalab is a world-leading manufacturer of labware and has been manufacturing swabs for over 30 years. Their commitment to quality, excellent service, and ethically driven responsibility has enabled Deltalab to see their products used in clinics, hospitals, industries, universities, and laboratories in 125 countries worldwide.

ASIS Scientific’s partnership with the Spain-based Deltalab has been going strong for 12+ years. Through our partnership Deltalab’s wares have supplied the likes of SA Pathology, SA Water, the CSIRO, the University of Adelaide and many more.
