Flocked Swab is a great way to deal with the sample collection required for flu testing. Their ability to collect eluted samples is unparalleled.
However, not all flocking swabs are the same. So how do you choose?
Flocked Swab
Factors to consider when buying flocking swabs. The effectiveness of a cotton swab depends on several things:
Materials used: Standard flocking swabs are made of nylon. Nylon swabs use surface tension between fibers to capture biological material for sampling. This is good for collecting specimens, but testing the specimens is not very it is good. It is estimated that only 15% of the organisms collected by traditional nylon flocking swabs are released for testing. But the swab composite fiber material produced by Medico allows not only an important step than collecting a more complete elution and obtaining accurate results.
Industrial design of swabs: Our company offers multi-length and multi-dimensional flocking fiber swabs to provide you with the most efficient collection and elution on the market.
Whether the tip is painted or not: Our materials are uncoated and made of the finest materials to ensure reliability and efficiency.
These seem subtle differences, even (see what we did there?) But they make a huge difference when it comes to sampling and testing for flu.
