flockedSWABS

nasohead

Copan FlockedSWABS have no internal mattress core to disperse and entrap the precious sample like traditional fiber wound swabs. In stark contrast, the entire sample stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution.

traditional and flock fiber detail

Perpendicular Nylon Fibers act like a soft brush and allow improved collection of cell samples. Capillary action between the Nylon fiber strands facilitates strong hydraulic uptake of liquid samples. Sample stays close to the surface allowing easier elution.
