What is the difference between a flocked sampling swab and a cotton swab?

Nylon flocked sampling swabs are specially used for sample collection, and cotton swabs can also be used for sample collection, but the number of samples collected and the collection effect of the two cannot be compared.

The long handle is easy to hold and can be adjusted back and forth while holding it, which is suitable for different groups of people. The soft and slender connecting rod can effectively protect the sampled tissue from damage.

Nylon flocking swabs, matching collection tubes, and transportation tubes constitute a sample collection system!
