What are the advantages of flocking as a sampling swab?
Date: 2021-12-14
Speaking of sampling swabs, I believe that everyone is familiar with it during this time, because most of the testing tools used in nucleic acid testing are disposable sampling swabs.
Sampling swabs are in direct contact with our human organs, such as nasal swabs and throat swabs for nucleic acid testing, so the material selection of the sampling head is very important, and the material of the sampling head is closely related to subsequent testing. Sampling swabs should ensure the sampling volume and release volume, and the selected materials must not contain substances that affect subsequent detection.
Advantages of flocking swabs:
1. Compared with the traditional winding swab, the amount of samples collected and released by flocking swabs is 3 times higher, and it will not cause harm to the human body.
2. The time for flocking swabs to collect samples is 3-5 seconds, which is fast and convenient to improve work efficiency. Only faster sample extraction can complete the collection and analysis more efficiently.
3. Moreover, through the directional friction effect of the brush-like fiber layer, the cell sample can be completely captured, so the flocking swab is particularly beneficial for the collection of trace DNA.
4. After a large number of clinical experiments, it has been shown that compared with ordinary sterile cotton swabs, flocking swabs have a better effect on the collection and transportation of clinical microbial specimens. This is especially true for those specimens that cannot be submitted for inspection in time and that have been placed for too long.
