Microbiology swab Flocked Sampling Swab

for sample recoverylaboratoryfor forensics

Product Overview
Flocked sampling swab for cell and virus specimen collection, intended for HPV & TCT testing and gynecological clinical diagnostics. It uses a spray-on process that electrostatically bonds millions of nylon microfibers perpendicularly to the medical-grade applicator tip, creating an open-fiber structure optimized for high cellular uptake and rapid elution into transport medium. The perpendicular nylon fibers act as a soft brush, enhancing collection and release of both cellular and liquid samples. This swab type is widely adopted by diagnostic kit manufacturers in molecular genetics, forensics and clinical laboratories.

Key Features

• Ergonomic, anatomic handle design
• Designed for gynecological clinical diagnostics
• EO sterile (sterilized by ethylene oxide)
• Material: nylon microfibers (flocked)
• Break point: 41 mm
• Packaging options: peel pouch or transport tube
• OEM available

Benefits

• Perpendicular nylon fibers function like a soft brush to improve patient comfort and sampling efficiency
• Enhanced sample collection via electrostatically sprayed fibers that are uniformly attached to the applicator tip
• Superior sample elution: open-fiber structure releases specimen cells rapidly into liquid medium compared with conventional wound swabs
• Increased assay sensitivity: flocked swabs rapidly elute >95% of the original sample, improving detection sensitivity
• Quantitative volume transfer: consistent uptake and transfer from patient to tube with no internal core to trap sample
• Certified free of DNase, RNase and human DNA; free of PCR inhibitors; certificate of analysis available per lot
