For the sample to be taken correctly, the nasal swab must be introduced vertically into each nostril over 2 to 3 cm without forcing. Then gently rock the swab horizontally and insert it a little until you meet slight resistance. Then perform a rotating movement inside each nostril 5 times or more for about 15 seconds..
Once the sample has been taken, the nasal swab should be directly inserted into the extraction tube by rotating it in the solution 5 to 10 times while squeezing the tube. Remove the swab by squeezing the tube strongly to extract as much liquid as possible.
