Unrivaled Sensitivity from Patented Flocking

With rapid uptake and elution of over 90% of specimens, Copans's patented flocking technology outperforms traditional fiber swabs - especially critical for scarce samples.

Optimized 20mm Breakpoint and Vial Compatibility

The shortened 20 mm breakpoint and vial-optimized tip streamline laboratory workflow and sample handling.

ISO Compliant to Minimize DNA Contamination

Adherence to ISO 18385:2016 guidelines reduces risk of detectable human nuclear DNA transfer - meeting the contamination standards required for forensic grade genotyping.
