Oropharyngeal Flocked Swabs

F locked swabs feature perpendicular nylon fibers that optimize specimen collection and elution into transport media. Unlike traditional fiber swabs, 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. Capillary action between the fiber strands facilitates strong hydraulic uptake of liquid sample, and the sample stays close to the surface allowing easy elution. The swabs also feature a molded break point that allows you to safely and easily break off the swabstick when placed in a tube with a transport medium. Sampling procedure: The oropharyngeal swab should be carefully rubbed into the posterior pharynx 3 times and withdrawn without touching the tongue and teeth. Suitable for coronavirus sampling (COVID-19). Material: nylon fibers, polypropylene Packing: 200 pcs. Sterility: Ethylene oxide sterilization Dimensions: 147mm CE certified
