Best price disposable sterile buccal Throat flocked pcr sampling collection medical swab

Cleanmo's flocked swabs feature perpendicular nylon fibers     

that optimize specimen collection and elution into transport media. The swabs also feature a molded break point that allows you to safely and easily break off the swabstick, and several break point options are available for different tubes. Unlike traditional fiber swabs, which resemble a mattress or cushion, Cleanmo's flocked swabs have no internal absorbent core to disperse and entrap the specimen. The entire sample stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution. The perpendicular Nylon fibers serve as a soft brush and allow improved collection of cell samples. Capillary action between the fiber strands facilitates strong hydraulic uptake of liquid sample, and the sample stays close to the surface allowing easy elution.

 

What are Flocked Swabs?

Cleanmo's flocked swabs comprise of a solid molded plastic applicator shaft with a tip that can vary in size and shape.  The tip of the applicator is coated with short Nylon  fibers that are arranged in a perpendicular fashion. This perpendicular arrangement results from a process called flocking, where the fibers are sprayed onto the tip of the swab, while it is held in an electrostatic field.  The process creates a highly absorbent thin layer with an open structure.
