Pharyngeal swabs are no stranger to you, right? A pharyngeal swab, scientifically known as a "single-use sterile sampling swab" or "single-use sampler", has external characteristics similar to a cotton swab. It is mainly used for nucleic acid sample collection, bacteriological sample processing, virology cell culture and so on. Although this 15-cm sampler appears to be insignificant, it is the key to the nucleic acid sampling process.
In the impression of many people, the sampling swab is much the same in appearance as the ordinary cotton swab commonly used in daily life, but it is really not a cotton swab.
What material is the nucleic acid test throat swab made of?
The material of the swab is mostly flocked, similar to the toothbrush in our daily life, the bristles of the toothbrush are also flocked.
But the sampling swab in the process of doing, is millions of tiny fibers vertically and evenly covered in the swab handle end above, and ABS plastic rod constitute a disposable sampling swab, used for oral nasopharynx, sampling, laboratory testing, etc..
Ltd. nucleic acid testing pharyngeal swab (flocked swab) advantages:
A, sampling more comfortable
Our company uses a unique technology, the flocking finely attached to the ABS handle head, the flocking fiber can play a similar role to the soft brush, the use of this soft brush in the sampling process so that users do not feel foreign bodies, even if some people's throat or nasal cavity is more sensitive to foreign bodies, sampling can also be a lot more comfortable.
Second, sampling more convenient
Generally speaking, the flocked swabs used in different parts of the body take different fracture points, and the rods use different thicknesses to make the softness different.
For example, pharyngeal swabs, the upper end of the rod is thinner and softer, so it is not easy to stimulate contact with the throat, and there is a 3cm break point, so it can be easily broken, which is convenient for nucleic acid detection.
Compared with traditional swabs, our flocked swabs have a better effect on the collection and delivery of clinical microbiological specimens, and all of them are packaged in disposable individual packages, which greatly improves the safety of transportation and storage for those specimens that cannot be delivered in time or placed for a long time.
Are nucleic acid testing pharyngeal swabs (flocked swabs) safe?
Sampling swabs belong to medical devices, there are strict production environment requirements and quality control standards, the basic requirement for qualified products is non-toxic and harmless.
Ltd. nucleic acid testing pharyngeal swab (flocked swab) is very high quality, and and established a quality management system, medical device management system. From the purchase of raw materials to the sale of products, all products have strict quality control.
