Flocked swabs can be further divided into nasopharyngeal swabs, oral swabs, Gynecological swabs, DNA swabs, Cell sampling swab, etc. according to different purposes, which can be used by various laboratory testing centers and hospitals. Sampling flocked swab than the traditional winding swab collection sample and release sample volume is three times higher, and does not cause damage to the cell sample, good to ensure the survival rate of the cell sample, no residual fatty acids, the test detection effect does not affect, more will not cause harm to the human body. So what are the different flocked swabs used in the field?
1.Oral/nasopharyngeal sampling swab
Oral and nasopharyngeal sampling swabs are composed of nylon short fiber pile head and medical grade ABS plastic rod. The nylon short fiber acts like a soft brush, which can effectively improve the collection of cellular material; the capillary movement between the fibers forms a strong hydraulic pressure, thus ingesting the liquid sample; at the same time, the sample clings to the surface of the swab and is easy to wash off.
2. Gynecological sampling swab
Sufficient cervical epithelial cells can be collected for testing methods such as human papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acid testing, thus assisting clinical judgment of the risk and type of disease in the subject.
3. Virus and bacteria sampling swabs
Nylon flocked swabs have better collection and delivery of viruses and bacteria, especially for those specimens that cannot be sent in time and are placed for too long.
4. DNA sampling swab
By wiping the blood, epidermis and other tissues, effective access to the samples to be collected for DNA testing, making the DNA test results more accurate, and can effectively avoid the mixing of other magazines, affecting the test results.
5. Cell sampling sterile swab
Fluffy texture can collect more target analytes, no specimen residue, speed up the process of processing specimens, swabs for sterilization of individual packaging, greatly improve the quality of cell sampling collection!
6. Laboratory sampling swab
Fluffy texture can collect more target analytes, no specimen residue, speed up specimen processing, swabs are sterilized and individually packaged, greatly improving the collection quality of laboratory assays!
