MS-LF7802 is a Flocked Sampling Swab used for cell & virus specimen collection, it has been designed for PCR testing of Covid-19, and laryngopharyngeal clinical diagnostics. It utilizes the state-of-art “spray on technology” that the flocking process by means of an electro-static charge perpendicularly attaches millions of nylon microfibers on the medical grade handle tip. The flocked swab is ideal for collecting large amount of cells and rapid elution of the specimens that instantly releases the cells into the transport medium. It has been well recognized and adopted by the diagnostic test kits manufacturer who produces reagents in molecular genetics, forensics and clinical laboratories sectors. The perpendicular nylon fibers act like a soft brush, allowing the improved collection and release of both cellular and liquid samples.
• Ergonomic and anatomic design, perpendicular nylon fiber acts like a soft brush thus improves patient comfort and efficiency in cell specimen collection.
• Improved sample collection, sprayed-on fibers statically charged and attached to the applicator tip in a uniform perpendicular manner and by means of strong capillary action cell specimens are rapidly absorbed.
• Superior sample elution, with an open fiber structure it instantly dislodges the specimen cells into the liquid medium, unlike traditional wound swabs when the specimen is entrapped in the mattress core.
• Increased assay sensitivity, flocked swabs are proven to elute >95% of the original sample rapidly thus easily resulting in improved assay sensitivity.
