2 types of Flocked Head Swab sizes are available:
#LS-SWAB-FT01 (Standard) and #LS-SWAB-FT02 (Thin)
This 6” long nasopharyngeal sample collection swab is designed for the collection of nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. This sample collection method is commonly used for the detection of whooping cough, diphtheria, influenza, and various types of diseases caused by the coronavirus family of viruses, including SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
The absorbent nylon flocking ensures more rapid and efficient sample collection as compared to fiber swabs. The nylon flocking is adhered uniformly around the surface of the swab handle tip for superior sample collection. Rapid release of cells from the flocking results in improved analytical sensitivity and accelerated specimen throughput. A break point at 80mm allows tip section to fit in conventional collection and transport tubes, while the thin, flexible handle is comfortable for patients. These sterile swabs are individually packaged in convenient peel-apart paper/plastic wrappers.
These swabs can also be utilized in cervix uteri, oral cavity, forensic acquisition and DNA collection applications.
