Disposable sampling swabs are suitable for microbial collection and can be used to assist hospitals or laboratories to detect viruses or research virus sampling for human or animal natural cavities, such as the throat, nasal cavity, oral cavity, vagina and other parts of the dipstick biological samples for testing.

It can also be used for disease detection in the human oral or nasal cavity, which requires the use of sampling swabs for the collection of oral epidermal cells or nasal virus samples, and the cells or samples are stored in collection tubes and then transferred to the laboratory for testing.

♥ Two operational examples are given below.

♥ Pharyngeal swab operation cases.

①. Tear the sealing paper on the disposable sampling swab bag and remove the disposable sampling swab from the bag.

Note: The disposable sampling swab should not touch other items outside the pharynx to avoid contamination.

②, hold the disposable sampling swab into the throat and quickly wipe both sides of the palatal arch, pharynx

③、After the collection is completed, please remove the throat sampling swab from the mouth, put it into the sampling test tube, break the disposable sampling swab handle at the place where there is a break mark, cover the sampling test tube lid, tighten and store it.

Note: Too many rotations can lead to dilution or loss of the sample. After sampling, ensure that the disposable sampling swab does not touch any other objects.

♥ Nasal swab operation cases.

①. Ask the patient to keep the head still and remove the secretions from the surface in the anterior nasal aperture.

②. Insert the swab gently and slowly through the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx.

③, when resistance is encountered, it reaches the posterior nasopharynx and stays for several seconds to absorb the secretion.

④, gently rotate to remove the swab and place it in the transport medium.

⑤, swab used for virology test, the head of the swab is immersed in the virus transport solution, the tail is discarded and the cap is screwed tightly.

⑥. For swabs used for bacteriological testing, insert back into the sampling device or a suitable transfer device.

♥ Characteristics of disposable sampling swabs.

①, made of non-inhibited DNA amplification material, after verification that it can be directly PCR amplified, eliminating the extraction step.

②、Using single independent packaging to avoid contamination.

③, strict process conditions, free of DNA enzymes and amplifiable human DNA.

④、Transparent tube body, the condition of the test material is visually visible.

⑤, unique casing design, to ensure air circulation in the casing, to prevent the test material from mold due to the humid sealed environment, while avoiding contamination by magazines in the external air, which in turn affects the quality of the test.
