Flocked Oral Swab

Flocked Swab

The SUNTRINE single-use sampler's innovative jet-implanted nylon fifibre technology maximises sampling swab sampling effiffifficiency, with nylon fifibres adhering vertically and uniformly to the surface of the swab head, greatly increasing the effiffifficiency of collection and release of cellular and viral samples, improving analytical sensitivity, leaving no specimen residue and speeding up the specimen handling  process.

The flocked swab tip is coated with perpendicularly sprayed on Nylonfibers. This coating creates a thin absorbent layer that allows for quick sample uptake and elution of more than 90% of the sample

Flocked Oral Swab is a widely used medical device that has many benefits and advantages. It is a simple and non-invasive tool that is used for collecting samples like saliva, oral fluid, and other oral specimens. It plays a critical role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various diseases and conditions.

One of the biggest advantages of Flocked Oral Swab is that it is very easy and safe to use. Unlike other sampling methods, this swab does not require any special training or technical expertise. It can be used by anyone with little or no training, making it very convenient and accessible.

Flocked Oral Swab is also very efficient and accurate in collecting samples. Its unique design allows it to capture and retain more cells and fluids compared to traditional swabs, which provides better diagnostic yield. It is also less traumatic, making it more comfortable for the patient.

Moreover, Flocked Oral Swab is very versatile and can be used in many different settings and applications. It can be used for routine medical checkups, disease screening, research, and even forensic investigations. Its flexibility and adaptability make it an invaluable tool in modern medicine and healthcare.

In conclusion, Flocked Oral Swab is an important medical device that has many benefits and advantages. It is easy to use, efficient and accurate in collecting samples, less traumatic, and adaptable to many different applications. Its use has helped revolutionize the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various diseases and conditions, making it an invaluable tool in modern medicine.

Why are flocked swabs better than traditional fiber swabs?

Clinicians report better patient comfort due to ergonomic, anatomic swab design and softer texture.
Studies show that samples collected using improve test sensitivity because they elute more than 90% of the specimen.
Strong capillary hydraulics between the strands of Nylon expedites maximum liquid sample uptake and release.
Soft brush-like texture of the swabs facilitates efficient dislodging of the target cells.
Compatible with multiple applications and platforms including bacteriology and virology culture, rapid antigen testing, molecular-based assays, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) tests, enzyme immune assay testing (EIA) and cytology testing.

What is a Flocked Swab?
Invented by COPAN, flocked swabs are a special type of swab produced with an applicator tip that is spray-coated with short Nylon® fibers arranged perpendicularly. Unlike traditional swabs made with materials that can trap the specimen, flocked swabs use a thin absorbent layer of Nylon® fibers with no internal core, allowing greater sample uptake and release.

What Makes Flocked Swabs Different Than Traditional Swabs?

The flocked swab tip is coated with perpendicularly sprayed on Nylon® fibers. This coating creates a thin absorbent layer that allows for quick sample uptake and elution of more than 90% of the sample. Compare this elution to traditionally spun swabs that trap most of the specimen in the ‘mattress’ structure, trapping the specimen and reducing testing sensitivity. It’s easy to see why FLOQSwab® is used by more and more laboratories and medical institutions around the world.
