What is a flocked swab?
Flocking refers to the process of applying multi-length fibers to the surface of adhesive coating; If the cotton swab head is flocking, it is a flocking swab.It is a disposable sampling swab composed of nylon staple fiber fluff head and abs plastic rod. Used for oral and nasopharynx, sampling, cervical and vaginal sampling, laboratory testing, etc.
What is the differences between a flocked swab and a traditional swab then?
Nylon flocking sampling bai swab has no core structure like du pad type of traditional sampling swab bed, which makes it difficult to release the sample zhi and affects the integrity of the sample. Contrary to dao, a complete sample is adsorbed near the surface of the sampling head and can be released completely and quickly.The vertical nylon fiber is like a soft brush, which can improve the collection effect of cell samples. The liquid sample is adsorbed between nylon fiber bundles under strong hydraulic pressure, that is, near the surface of the sampling head, so that it can be easily released.
Why are the flocked swabs better than the traditional swabs?
Compared with traditional sampling swab, flocking swab has the following differences.
1. Medico’s flocking sampling swab has no mutual absorbent core to disperse and collect samples.
2. Flocked cotton swabs can be collected quickly, so that the whole sample adheres to the surface of fluff and can be completely eluted.
3. Vertical nylon fiber is like a soft brush, which can improve the collection effect of cell samples.
4. The capillary action between fiber bundles promotes the strong hydraulic absorption of liquid samples, and samples kept close to the surface can be simply eluted.
5. Flocking cotton swabs is an ideal method to collect a large number of cells, which can not only elute quickly, but also release these cells into the transport medium immediately.
