What elements should a good sampling swab meet？
2021-11-04
In the collection of virus samples, small sampling swabs are always ignored, and people often ignore the judgment of its quality. However, the sampling swab is the “vanguard” in the whole nucleic acid detection process. It is the first area to contact the virus. It can be said that it controls the “lifeblood” of the whole nucleic acid detection process.

Cell medical (Dongguan) believes that a good sampling swab should have three elements——
1: more samples. That is, the virus samples collected by the sampling swab should be as many as possible.
2: release more. That is, the virus samples collected by the sampling swab should be released into the sampling solution as much as possible.
3: excellent design. That is, the design of sampling swab shall not interfere with the nucleic acid detection in the last link.
It is well known that after large-scale nucleic acid screening, the previously commonly used winding swabs were eliminated, and flocking swabs that are easier to collect release samples were used.
However, it is not enough to unify the material.
The design of flocking swab is also very exquisite in structure.
Different nylon fiber arrangement and density determine the difference of sample collection and release.
A good swab can avoid missing inspection to a greater extent.
