Puritan Medical Products (Guilford, ME, USA), the world's most trusted manufacturer of swabs, is attending AACC 2023 where the company is exhibiting its world-renowned swabs and other products. Puritan is also demonstrating its expertise in topics such as automation, pandemic response, and virus protection, participating in panel discussions, joining in-depth symposiums, and introducing its various experts to their global counterparts.

Prior to AACC 2023, Puritan attended ASM Microbe 2023 hosted in June in Houston, Texas by the American Society for Microbiology. During the event, which is the largest microbial sciences gathering in the world, Puritan highlighted its key business lines—and core product offerings—to thousands of scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals who are at the forefront of medical advancement. At the 2023 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, hosted by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, Puritan is exhibiting its products and solutions at Booth #4115. Puritan is playing a pivotal part in exploring the cutting-edge science and technology that are shaping the future of laboratory medicine, with the event featuring more than 800 exhibitors and over 200 new products and services.

Puritan works hand-in-hand with its customers to create the best single-use products for reliable specimen collection and accurate diagnoses. By combining user feedback and a proprietary research manufacturing process, the company has developed a patented, intricate fiber technology that provides the highest collection and elution capacities available on the market. The company’s patented HydraFlock and PurFlock Ultra flocked swabs are made with intricate, multi-length fibers for superior specimen collection and elution. Ultimate purity and efficient cell release characteristics make PurFlock Ultra flocked swabs ideal for PCR, molecular assays, rapid tests, and forensic applications. Designed specifically for the collection of biological specimens, HydraFlock provides higher absorption capacity and complete elution. Puritan also offers dry as well as media-filled transport systems.

“Puritan has a unique opportunity to expand its international presence while also connecting with existing customers, explaining why our unique approach to customization is applicable to a wide range of industries,” said Bob Shultz, President and CFO at Puritan. “From California to Texas and other countries, Puritan changes the world for the better on a daily basis, and we couldn't be prouder to share that story with others.”
