Probably you also have this question in your mind, why do you need to use flocked sampling swabs? After reading this article, maybe you know the answer
Our general conventional fiber swab is going to produce samples that are trapped by the interstices within the fiber mass, so that the samples are permeated, diluted and trapped within the fibers. This results in slow collection and even slower release.
The nylon flocked swab, on the other hand, has outstanding sample collection and release capabilities, with a release rate of 80 percent or more.
Generally, flocked swabs take 3 to 5 seconds to collect a sample, while cotton swabs take 15 to 120 seconds, or even longer. This seriously causes stress to the staff during the diagnostic process. The only way to complete the collection and analysis more efficiently is to extract the sample faster.
Features of Warricom flocked sampling swabs.
(1) Swabs with jet dense flocked nylon fiber technology.
(2) According to the different items of analysis corresponding to the soft or brush texture swab, has achieved 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.
The upright nylon fibers act like a soft brush enabling more cellular specimens to be collected. 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. Nylon flocked swabs adsorb and release more samples.
