Overview

Original flocked swabs engineered for optimal pathogen recovery. Featuring nylon fiber tips with no internal core, they capture and release over 90% of collected specimens—making them ideal for molecular, culture, antigen testing and environmental sampling.

 

 

Product Details

  • Superior Design
    • Patented nylon fibres sprayed perpendicularly onto a solid moulded plastic shaft deliver rapid sample uptake and complete elution.
    • No internal core means virtually no sample retention—unlike traditional fibre or foam swabs.
  • Comfort & Versatility
    • Ergonomic, patient-friendly designs in a variety of tip shapes—mini-tip, regular, conical, contoured—plus optional flexible or anatomical profiles.
    • Available with moulded breakpoints (e.g., 80 mm, 100 mm) for easy transfer into transport media.
  • Broad Applications
    Suitable for:

    • Bacteriology, virology, molecular assays (PCR, EIA, DFA)
    • Rapid antigen testing
    • Environmental and surface sampling
    • Specimen collection at skin, nasal, throat, buccal, wound, and other anatomical sites
  • Customisable Solutions
    • Custom tip shapes, shafts, and pre-loaded kits are available through consultation.

 

Applications & Performance

  • Proven to significantly outperform traditional and foam swabs in recovery tests—especially for Listeria on various surfaces and for respiratory virus sampling.
