Flocked Swab Meaning
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the word “nasopharyngeal swab” has become a high-frequency word we talk about every day.
In recent months, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out again in countries all over the world. It’s worrying to watch the data released by WHO every day!!!
Flocked swab material
The flocked swab is made of nylon fiber flocking technology, and the front end is coated with nylon short fiber fixed vertically so that there is no absorption hole in the sampling area of the whole sampling swab, and the sampling sample will not be dispersed and retained in the fiber, which is conducive to faster and more efficient elution.
Traditional cotton swabs can not completely collect and elute samples while flocking swabs can elute 95% of samples. Therefore, the use of flocking swabs has great advantages for various sample collection applications.
The flocked swab is to deposit nylon fibres on the surface of the medical ABS rod in a certain direction through an electrostatic field to form a brush layer.
What is the purpose of flocked swabs?
Flocking swabs are the best choice for nucleic acid detection because they can better collect cell or biological samples at the collection site and release samples quickly.
Application: forensic medicine, DNA, microorganism, virus sampling, Oral swab, nasal swab etc.
What are flocked swabs used for in COVID-19?
The autumn and winter communication season is a period of the high incidence of common cold and influenza, and the most important means to control the epidemic situation is to select real patients with new crown pneumonia from a large number of respiratory tract patients.
At present, the most effective and widely used new crown sampling methods are nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swab sampling.
Flocked Swab Meaning _Application of flocking swab in COVID-19
Nasopharyngeal swab collection method.
1. Keep the patient’s head still and remove the secretions on the middle surface of the anterior nostril;
2. Measure the distance from the nose tip to the earlobe with a swab and mark it with your fingers. Insert the swab into the nasal cavity in the direction perpendicular to the nose (face). When encountering resistance, it reaches the posterior nasopharynx, keeps the swab in the nose for 10 ~ 15 s, rotates it gently for 3 ~ 5 times, and take out the test flocked swab.
According to the American Society of Microbiology guidelines for the submission of clinical microbial specimens, the nasopharyngeal swab should be twisted on the nasopharyngeal mucosa, retained for 10-15 seconds, and then removed.
Feeling of nasal flocked swabs sampled by U.S. netizens.
netizens 01
It’s hard, and the tough guy still cries.
I have experienced both sampling methods.
It is not a painful cry, but a stress response caused by strong stimulation of the weak nasopharyngeal mucosa, with tears and tears.
netizens 02
No, as a girl, I don’t feel much about the nose swab sampling, except its excitement went to my head.
netizens 03
The more serious one is like eating mustard oil, and the lighter one is like blowing out your nose for several days.
Our netizens are so cute.
About oropharyngeal swab sampling.
oral swab sampling process_ Flocked Swab Meaning
Feeling of oral flocked swabs sampled by China’s netizens.
Pharyngeal(oral) swab: the collection process is faster (just a few seconds) and less painful, but you may feel nausea and vomiting, and some people have no obvious reaction.
As we are in the epidemic period, we should improve our awareness of self-protection when doing nucleic acid testing.
