When it comes to flocked sampling swabs, many people may only know that the name is used for sampling, but they may know little about the specific details, so what are flocked sampling swabs usually used for?
What is a flocked swab?
Flocking is the process of applying multiple lengths of fiber to an adherent coated surface; if the head of the swab is flocked, it is a flocked swab. It is a disposable sampling swab consisting of a nylon short fiber lint head and an abs plastic rod. It is used for oral nasopharynx, sampling, cervical-vaginal sampling, laboratory testing, etc.
Why use flocked sampling swabs? You will know after reading the comparison below.
Conventional fiber swab: The sample is intercepted by the interstitial space within the fiber mass, i.e., the sample is permeated, diluted, and intercepted within the fiber. Slow collection and even slower release.
Nylon flocked swabs: superior sample collection/release, release rate >80%
Flocked swabs take 3-5 seconds to collect a sample, while cotton swabs take 15-120 seconds or longer, which creates stress on staff during the diagnostic process. The only way to complete the collection and analysis more efficiently is to extract the sample faster.
Flocked sampling swabs manufacturer flocked sampling swabs features.
1, the use of spray dense flocked nylon fiber technology swab.
2, according to the analysis of different items corresponding to a soft or brush texture swab, has reached a larger collection volume.
3、Disposable sterile injected swab rod with break point.
4、Flocked swab technology enhances the adsorption/release of specimens and improves the sensitivity of analysis.
5, No sample interception, which predicts faster and less specimen delivery.
In summary, the upright nylon fibers act like a soft brush to collect more cellular specimens. The capillary action between the nylon fibers enhances the aqueous sample load, and the samples are concentrated on the surface of the swab for easier elution. The nylon flocked swab can adsorb and release more samples.
