FlockedSWAB Applications
Samples collected using flockedSWABS can be used for various applications and have been shown to improve the sensitivity of various diagnostic tests. Scientific studies have shown that flockedSWABS release more cells for Direct Flourescent Antibody (DFA) testing.
Copan UTM used with flockedSWABS is the optimum
combination for virology culture and DFA testing
Liquid secretions are rapidly absorbed between the perpendicular fibers by capillary action.
Collection and delivery of bacteriology samples
Copan flockedSWABS combined with ESwab provide an innovative platform for collection and delivery of microbiology samples.
Collection of DNA Samples for Forensic Applications
flockedSWABS are certified DNase, RNase-Free and Human DNA-Free making them ideal for collection & transfer of minute amounts of DNA.
