Have you heard of flocked sampling swabs? Maybe you've heard of cotton swabs, here's a discussion with you about what flocked swabs are and what the advantages of flocked swabs are.
Here first talk to you about the advantages of our flocked swabs in the end what is?
The advantages of Shenzhen huarikang technology Co.
(1) the use of spray dense planted nylon fiber technology swab.
(2) according to the analysis of different items corresponding to have soft or brush texture swab, has reached the maximum collection volume.
(3) Disposable sterile injection-molded swab sticks with break points.
(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.
I. What are the advantages of flocked swabs?
1. Flocked swabs are more comfortable to sample and more convenient to use.
Nowadays, flocked swabs are commonly used with the existing technology "spray technology", which is vertically attached to the head of the handle for medical use by electrostatic charge of millions of nylon fibers during flocking. Vertical nylon fibers are similar to a soft brush. The use of this soft brush during the sampling process will allow the user to have no foreign body sensation. At the same time, the flocked swab used in different parts of the body takes different break points, and the rod uses different thicknesses to make the softness very different. For example, the nasal swab is thinner and softer at the upper end of the rod and has a longer break point.
2. Flocked swab samples will have greater release
The capillary action between the nylon fiber bundles promotes strong hydraulic absorption of the liquid sample, sample retention on the surface, and makes elution easier. In contrast, most samples collected by conventional cotton swabs remain intercepted in the fibrous matrix of the head and are not easily released or are released in small amounts. Flocked swabs have been shown to release up to ninety-five percent of the sample, compared to twenty-five percent for standard fiber-tipped swabs. The use of flocked swabs is particularly important if the sample size is particularly small.
3. Flocked swabs are biocompatible, making them ideal for PCR work.
To limit damage to the sample and improve the accuracy of the assay, swabs are made of a completely inert material. So flocked swabs become the ideal type and the best choice for PCR. Thus, for scientists using PCR techniques, the new flocked swabs are PCR compatible and free of RNA enzymes and DNA enzymes.
Seeing this, would you be curious, with so many advantages of flocked swabs, how exactly does it look different from cotton swabs or swabs? In this way, let's first understand what exactly is flocking.
Second, the flocking of the general.
1. What exactly is flocking?
Flocking refers to the process of applying multiple lengths of fibers to the surface of the adhesive coating, he and cotton swabs are basically not much different except for the material, you can also say that the flocking is attached to the head of the cotton swab, that he is flocked swab, but it is different from cotton swabs is that it is a disposable sampling swab with a nylon short fiber lint head + ABS plastic rod composition.
2. Flocked swab use.
Flocked swab is mainly used for sampling the natural cavities of the human body (such as oral cavity, nasal cavity, throat and vagina, etc.) and laboratory testing and other aspects.
