how to collect nasopharyngeal swab?

After several times of nucleic acid sampling and testing, citizens wondered: why do some people require nasopharynx swabs and some people can collect oropharyngeal swabs? Today, experts from cell medical will explain to you.

What is a sampling swab?

At present, except for special diseases, COVID-19’s nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs are the most common ways of collecting.

Studies have shown that nasopharyngeal swabs have higher detection rate of COVID-19 nucleic acids than oropharyngeal swabs. Because the nasopharyngeal cavity is relatively closed and the virus is easier to accumulate. However, whether it is oropharyngeal swab or nasopharyngeal swab, the key is that the collection action must be standardized, in place and meet the standards. As long as the acquisition is standardized, both methods can achieve the expected detection purpose.

How to collect a nasopharyngeal swab?

nasal swab collection method_How to collect a nasopharyngeal swab？

1. The patient’s head tilts back (about 70 degrees) and persists. 2. Use a swab to estimate the interval from the ear root to the nostril. 3. Insert from the nostril pen to the face. The deepening interval should be at least half of the length from the earlobe to the tip of the nose. Reach the posterior nasopharynx after encountering resistance, stay for several seconds to absorb secretions (generally 15 ~ 30s), and rotate the swab for 3 ~ 5 times. 4. The swab should be gently rotated and taken out, and the swab head should be immersed in a collection tube containing 2ml lysate or cell preservation solution containing RNase inhibitor. 5. Break the sterile swab rod at the top, discard the tail, tighten the tube cover and close it with sealing film.

oropharyngeal swab collection

collection method of oral swabs

1. Ask the patient to gargle with normal saline or clear water first.

2. Wet the flocked swab in sterile normal saline.

3. The patient sat down with his head tilted back and his mouth open, accompanied by an “ah” sound.

4. Fix the tongue with a tongue depressor, and the swab jumps over the root of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsil recess, lateral wall, etc.

5. The bilateral pharyngeal tonsils should be swabbed back and forth with moderate force for at least 3 times, and then the posterior pharyngeal wall should be swabbed for at least 3 times, 3 ~ 5 times.

6. Remove the swab to prevent touching the tongue, pituitary, oral mucosa and saliva.

7. Immerse the swab head into the preservation solution containing 2 ~ 3ml virus.

8. Break the sterile swab rod near the top, discard the tail, tighten the tube cover and close it with sealing film.

The sampling swab set contains a swab and a cell preservation solution. After collecting samples with swabs, we stored them in a liquid-based cell preservation solution. It ensures the integrity of sample DNA,

How are flocked swabs made?

Made of nylon fibre flocked technology, and the front end with nylon short fibers fixed in a vertical manner.

So that there is no absorption hole in the sampling area of the sampling swab.

The sample we obtained with a cotton swab does not disperse and remains in the fiber

Which is beneficial Faster and more efficient elution.

Traditional cotton swabs cannot completely collect and elute samples while flocking swabs can elute 95% of samples.

Therefore, the use of flocked swabs has great advantages for various sample collection applications.

What is a flock nylon swab?

Nylon flocking sampling swabs are specially used for sample collection.

And cotton swabs can also be used for sample collection, but the number of samples collected and the collective effect of the two cannot be compared.

Flocked nylon swab with outstanding sample collection and release capabilities.

It can quickly absorb trace amounts of samples, and the release efficiency is high.

The increase in the number of targets helps to improve the sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests.

Cell medical (Dongguan) Co, Ltd.,Take you to know the virus sample preservation solution.

Virus sample preservation solution,also known as disposable virus sampling tube.When we first came into contact with this term, we must be very curious.

However,what is DNA / RNA virus sampling tube？

First of all, virus sampling tube is a liquid that protects the tested substance of the virus by immersing the sampling swab virus sample in the sampling tube. Currently, it is mainly used for the collection, storage and transportation of common virus samples such as COVID-19, HFMV and so on. Medical workers can take tissue samples from the throat or specific areas using throat swabs and nasal flocked swabs. Samplers then store the samples for subsequent clinical trials such as nucleic acid extraction or purification. The virus and related samples can be stored at -70℃ or liquid nitrogen for a long time.

Usually,we divide the virus storage solution into two kinds. the non-inactivated virus storage solution and the inactivated virus sampling tube. The non inactivated type can protect viral proteins and nucleic acids. Maintain virus activity and facilitate culture and detection. Although the inactivated type can make the virus no longer have physiological activity, lose infectivity and pathogenicity, and have the ability to reproduce. Inactivate the virus, eliminate secondary infection,and protect the safety of transportation and testing personnel.

disposable virus sampling tube

About inactivated sample preservation solution.

There may be a small partner who will question whether the inactivated type will inactivate the virus? How do you check it? Don’t worry, the purpose of using inactivated virus sampling tube is to lyse nucleic acid and detect nucleic acid by subsequent RT-PCR.

After extraction with most commercial kits, the quality of DNA or RNA obtained is good and the yield is high. So,it can complete various gene detection and analysis experiments, such as PCR or qPCR, and save transportation costs.

It is suitable for COVID-19, hfmv and other common virus samples.

About inactivated sample preservation solution.

The virus preserved in non inactivated virus sampling tube has better integrity and higher detection rate. Researchers use it for scientific research, including nucleic acid testing.
Cryogenic storage without freezing, does not destroy the virus shell, easy long-distance transportation;
Application:H1N1 influenza virus and any other Virus swab sampling;
The antibiotics in the preservation liquid can effectively prevent bacterial and fungal infection;

Nasal swab painful

Posted on 2021年8月27日2022年3月22日 by Dr. Lee

People often feel scared during the sampling process using nasopharyngeal swabs. However, is it really painful to use a nasopharyngeal swab?

It is certain that nasopharyngeal swab testing does not produce painful symptoms, but some patients may feel uncomfortable.

The doctor used a medical flocked swab to enter the nasopharynx and then took a small amount of secretions. The hospital can isolate pathogenic bacteria through bacterial culture.

During the operation of the sampler, the patient will have slight nausea and discomfort, which is generally within a tolerable range. The medical staff’s techniques are gentle and skilled, so there is no pain. We can check the bacteria that cause the infection through nasopharyngeal swabs, and select targeted drugs for treatment based on the results of the tests.

Which is painful, nasal swab or throat swab？

In contrast, nasal swabs are more painful. Pharyngeal swab is the behavior that doctors use a medical flocked swab to dip secretions from the throat for monitoring. During the collection of pharyngeal swab, the tested person may have symptoms of nausea and vomiting without other obvious pain. Nasal swab is to insert a cotton swab into the deep part of the nasal cavity to dip secretions for monitoring.

Application scenario diagram

Why nasopharyngeal swabs are better than oropharyngeal swabs

According to reports in the literature, the positive rate of nasopharyngeal swabs is higher than that of oropharyngeal swabs.
The patient has good tolerance and can basically take samples without anesthesia after skilled operation
The exposure risk of the sampler is lower than that of oropharyngeal swabs.

Nasal swab test

Posted on 2021年8月25日2021年8月25日 by Dr. Lee

We used pharyngeal swabs to collect samples from nucleic acid samples. They are “nasopharyngeal swab” and “oropharyngeal swab”.

Nasopharynx swab and oropharyngeal swab only have different sampling paths. Oropharyngeal swab is to collect oropharyngeal specimens by entering the sampling swab through the mouth. And nasopharyngeal swab is to collect nasopharyngeal specimens through the nose.

Nasopharyngeal swab sampling process

Oropharyngeal flocked swab sampling process

The pharynx includes nasopharynx, oropharynx and pharynx, all of which belong to the field of upper respiratory tract.The sampling methods of nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swab are different.

PCR test can collect nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum and other lower respiratory tract secretions, blood, feces and other specimens for testing, nucleic acid detection by New Coronavirus.If its specimen nucleic acid is positive, it can clear the virus infection.

New Coronavirus infection mainly invades bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells. Lower respiratory tract specimens, such as sputum and airway extracts, more accurately reflect virus infection.

Advantages of nasal swabs

More specimens can be obtained by staying in the pharynx for a long time, which is also the reason why the positive rate reported in the literature is higher than that of oropharyngeal swabs.
