Sterile Nasal Flocked Swab

Item No. 345NFS

The Nasal Flocked Swab is used for cell & virus specimen collection and has been designed specifically for Nasopharyngeal clinical diagnostics. The flocked swab is ideal for collecting large number of cells and instantly releasing the specimen cells into the transport medium.

Ergonomic and Anatomic Design

Perpendicular nylon fibers act like a soft brush, improving patient comfort and efficiency in cell specimen collection.

Superior Sample Elution

The open fiber structure allows the specimen cells to instantly dislodge into the liquid medium.

Increased Assay Sensitivity

Flocked swabs are proven to elute >95% of the original sample rapidly thus easily resulting in improved assay sensitivity.

Quantitative Volume Transfer

Measurable and consistent uptake and transfer from patient to the test tube. Flocked Swab has no internal mattress core to trap the sample like traditional fiber wound swabs.

Certified Free of Inhibitors and Interference

Collection swabs are certified DNASE, RNASE-free and human DNA-free. They are also free of any PCR inhibitors.
