Why flocked swabs perform
- A flocked swab releases up to 95% of the sample it collects, against roughly 25% for a conventional fibre swab.
- Anatomic design improves patient comfort during nasopharyngeal collection.
- Instant, spontaneous release into liquid media.
- Compatible with rapid antigen testing, EIA, molecular assays, DFA, cytology and bacteriology/virology culture.
- Flexible shaft with moulded breakpoint — snaps at the tube rim.
Collection instructions
Tilt the patient’s head and insert the swab into one nostril until the collar touches the outside of the nose. Rotate twice in a circular motion and hold for 15 seconds. Repeat in the second nostril with the same swab. Insert the swab into an accepted viral transport medium (including saline or PBS), break the shaft against the side of the tube and close the lid.
Collection by a healthcare professional, or self-collection by the patient in an appropriate clinical setting, are both acceptable.
