Abstract
A new approach introducing a quantitative and standardizable step into sample processing was evaluated by homogenizing in vitro inoculated swab tips with Precellys 24 high-throughput homogenizer. Recovery of microorganisms from homogenized swab tips was significantly higher as compared to conventional processing methods. Thus, swab homogenization is a promising approach introducing a new quality in microbial analysis.Keywords: Copan; Dryswab; FLOQSwabs; Homogenization; Homogenizer; MWE; Precellys; Processing; Sigma-swab; Swab
