In this article, we will introduce what is flocked swab, the use of flocked swab, the application of COVID-19 flocked swab and the material of flocked swab, etc. Introduction of flocked swabs manufacturers. Let you have a comprehensive understanding of flocking swabs.
What is flocked swab?
The meaning of flocked swabs
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the term "nasopharyngeal swab" has become a high-frequency word that we talk about every day.
In recent months, there has been a resurgence of the new coronary pneumonia outbreak in countries around the world. It is so worrying to see the data published by WHO every day!!!
Flocked swab material
Flocked swabs use nylon fiber flocking technology, the front end wrapped with nylon short fibers fixed vertically, so that the entire sampling area of the sampling swab without adsorption holes, sampling samples will not be dispersed and retained in the fiber, which is conducive to faster and more effective elution.
Traditional swabs cannot completely collect and elute samples, while flocked swabs can elute 95% of samples. Therefore, the use of flocked swabs is highly advantageous for a variety of sample collection applications.
Flocked swabs are made by depositing nylon fibers in a certain direction on the surface of a medical ABS stick through an electrostatic field to form a brush layer.
What is the purpose of flocked swabs?
Flocked swabs are the best choice for nucleic acid testing because they allow for better collection of cellular or biological samples at the point of collection and rapid release of the sample.
Applications: forensics, DNA, microbiology, virus sampling, oral swabs, nasal swabs, etc.
What is the use of flocked swabs in COVID-19?
The fall and winter transmission season is the high season of common cold and influenza. The most important means to control the epidemic is to screen out the true new coronary pneumonia patients from the large number of respiratory patients.
Currently, the most effective and widely used methods for sampling new coronas are nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swab sampling.
