Patented Original Technology for Optimal Sample Collection and Diagnostics
With an original and patented design, FLOQSwabs® flocked swabs offer unparalleled efficiency in capturing and releasing the target analyte, resulting in improved pathogen recovery, expanded testing capabilities, and increased patient comfort. FLOQSwabs® feature an ergonomic and anatomic design with a patient-friendly, soft, brush-like texture. With a safe and convenient molded breakpoint, collecting a sample has never been easier.1, 2, 3, 4
FLOQSwabs® are available with various tip sizes and breakpoints and are commonly used for various sampling sites including:
FLOQSwabs® flocked swabs are ideal collection devices for many clinical and laboratory applications and are suitable for clinical specimens for applications including: 2, 3, 7
Various shaft and tip dimensions make FLOQSwabs® and improved alternative to invasive and costly collection procedures. 4, 5
FLOQSwabs® have no internal core to trap the sample, allowing for rapid sample uptake and instantaneous elution of over 90% of the sample into the liquid medium.1
FLOQSwabs® can be paired with different bacteriology and virology transport media, expanding compatibility with countless downstream assays. 1, 2, 3
FLOQSwabs® are optimized for better sample quality, more accurate quantitative measurement allowing for expanded compatibility of downstream diagnostic assays.1, 3, 8
Unlike traditional fiber swabs, FLOQSwabs® consists of a solid molded plastic applicator shaft and an outer Nylon® fiber structure which eliminates sample entrapment and exhibits powerful capillary action, keeping the sample close to the surface.1
FLOQSwabs® unique flocked design allows for rapid sample uptake and instantaneous elution, resulting in evidence-based, improved pathogen recovery.1, 3
Developed through collaboration with physicians and microbiologists, anatomically designed FLOQSwabs® balance patient comfort while providing optimized sample collection and transport for improved assay sensitivity and expanded testing capabilities.3, 4, 5
FLOQSwabs® can be paired with different bacteriology and virology collection and transport media, expanding their flexibility even further and making them compatible with countless downstream assays.2, 3, 8
