Product Details
4N6FLOQSwabs represent a breakthrough to guarantee that even smallest amounts of DNA can be collected and remain available for testing. Targets range from epithelial cells, saliva, sweat and blood to environmental samples. The swabs can be used in a broad variety of applications.
Performance
Comparison of DNA recovered from trace blood samples on various solid substrates with FLOQSwabs or cotton swabs showed that the FLOQSwabs system was superior in most cases, including recovery of DNA from metal, wood and plastic. FLOQSwabs performed better than cotton swabs in a comparison of DNA recovered from various common forensic trace samples such as saliva, sweat and blood.
Principle
Sprayed-on Nylon fibers:
Fibers are arranged in a uniform perpendicular fashion to ensure a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and to optimize the collection of epithelial cells.
