The Nylon Flocked Swab is a honeycomb style swab best suited for specimen collection.
The nylon flocking technology allows for an extremely large increase in the collection and elution capacity of a single sample swab, and flocked swabs mark the latest development in single-use specimen collection equipment. Flocking refers to the vertical attachment of long fibers to an adhesive-coated swab stem, and it offers outstanding advantages in sample collection.
The flocked swab is made of nylon fiber flocking technology, the front end is coated with short nylon fibers fixed vertically, making the entire collection swab collection area without absorption holes, the sample will not be dispersed in the fibers, which is conducive to faster and more efficient elution. Traditional spun swabs do not completely collect and elute the sample, while flocked swabs can elute more than 85% of the sample collected. Therefore, the use of flocked swabs is advantageous for a variety of sample collection applications.
Applications of flocked swabs
Flocked swabs are a versatile sample collection tool that is used in a wide variety of industries and applications. Whether it is genetic testing, bio-diagnostics, IVD, medical testing, clinical applications, scientific research, or medical, laboratory, optical and aerospace fields, flocked swabs play an important role, and their unique flocking technology and excellent cleaning results make them ideal for cleaning and maintaining surfaces.
Today's flocked swabs use an existing technology called "spray technology," where millions of nylon fibers are vertically attached to the head of a medical swab shaft by an electrostatic charge in the flock. The vertical nylon fibers resemble a soft brush. If this soft brush is used during the sampling process, the user will have no foreign body sensation. In addition, the different parts, the use of flocked swabs of different fracture points, the thickness of the swab rod also varies, so the softness is very different.
