Scientific studies show that Copan flockedSWABS significantly improve quantity of sample collected and sample released into various culture and assay systems improving the quality of diagnostics. In addition to driving the proficiency of the analyte collection, Copan flockedSWABS’ multiple engineered designs and custom swab fabrication program maximize patient comfort.
Liquid secretions are rapidly absorbed between the perpendicular fibers by capillary action.
Cellular material is collected very easily and efficiently because the velvet brush-like texture of the flockedSWAB is more effective at dislodging and removing cells.
The entire sample is instantaneously and automatically released the moment the flockedSWAB is mixed with assays reagents or placed in a buffer solution or transport medium.
