What are the advantages of using flocked sampling swabs?

Sampling flocked swabs Also known as nasal flocked swabs or oral flocked swabs.

Flocked swabs mark the latest development in disposable sample collection devices. Flocking refers to the process of applying (multi-length fibers), known as flocking, to an adhesive-coated surface to enhance sample collection. For many applications, all flocked swabs have clear advantages. Here are five reasons why flocked swabs are a good choice for laboratory professionals conducting specimen collection.





1. Flocked swabs provide optimal sampling


Flocked swabs are an excellent choice for sample collection as they better capture cells or organisms at the point of collection


2. Enhanced diagnostic sensitivity


Flocking technology turns each fiber into a velvety brush, creating hundreds of thousands of contact points for superior sample collection and release.


3. Fast elution


Flocked swabs are fully integrated with the handle (i.e. have no inner fabric or other inner core to absorb the sample), allowing for greater sample volume to be collected and retained. This not only provides better sample yield.


4. Proprietary multi-length flocking fibers


We're not the only medical product supplier offering flocked swabs. But we are the only company that manufactures swabs with proprietary multi-length flocked fibers. Multiple lengths of flocked fibers form a mesh structure that collects and retains more samples than traditional cotton, polyester or rayon swabs.


5. Convenient handling and shipping


Our flocked swabs are available with pre-formed break points and printed indicators so you can easily snap off the handle before attaching the cap to the vial. Sterile flocked swabs are available for dry transport tubes and medium fill transport tubes. After sampling, simply replace the top of the tube for trouble-free transport.
