Nasal Swabs for Sample Collection

I believe many people are very curious.

There is already a throat swab.

Why do you have to do a Nasal swab?

In the actual anti epidemic work scene, in fact, medical staff have a set of scientific judgment basis for collecting oropharyngeal swabs or nasopharyngeal swabs.

Because the nose swab only needs to expose the nose during the sampling process, the probability of exposure to the virus environment is low.

For high-risk people, such as asymptomatic infected persons, entry personnel or suspected people being isolated.

Nucleic acid detection with nasal swabs can reduce the infection risk of collectors, and the psychological acceptance of samplers.

That is, medical personnel, is also higher.

For the nucleic acid detection and screening carried out in the community, due to the more emphasis on rapid screening, the use of oropharyngeal swabs is more convenient and fast.

If discomfort or slight bleeding occurs during the collection of nasopharyngeal swabs, it is generally not treated.

After a period of time, the discomfort will disappear automatically.

If it is really uncomfortable, it can be properly cleaned with normal saline.

But do not wash too much, too much cleaning may bring more pollution.

Why is flocking swab used in nasal swab PCR test？

In order to improve the swab collection efficiency and meet the needs of end consumers for high-quality products.

Cell medical’s Flocked swab came into being.

Innovative jet implanted nylon fiber technology to maximize the sampling efficiency of the sampling swab.

The nylon fiber is vertically and evenly attached to the surface of the swab head, greatly increasing the collection and release efficiency of cell and virus samples.

Improve the analysis sensitivity, no sample residue, speed up the sample processing process, and the unique breakable design of ABS plastic rod.

It is applicable to the collection of cervical, nasopharynx, oral throat, forensic samples, virus, DNA and other samples.

◆ upright nylon fiber is like a soft brush, which can collect more specimens.

The capillary action between nylon fibers enhances the load of aqueous samples, and the samples are concentrated on the surface of the swab, which is easier to elute.

◆ it has outstanding sample collection and release ability, can quickly adsorb micro samples, and has high release aging rate. The increase of the number of target cells is helpful to improve the sensitivity of rapid diagnostic test.

◆ flocked swab has obvious advantages in nasopharyngeal sampling and microbial sampling, especially in the collection effect of virus and DNA.

◆ 100000 class purified environment, strict production process conditions, and production under ISO13485 quality control and product CE requirements. No DNase and RNase, no endotoxin, no cell inhibitor.

Nasopharyngeal Flocked Swab

Nucleic acid detection is to collect Nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum or lower respiratory tract specimens, real-time fluorescence RT-PCR detection of New Coronavirus nucleic acid, if positive, can be diagnosed with New Coronavirus infection, which is the basis for the diagnosis of new type of pneumonia. In addition to detecting the nucleic acid of the virus, it can also detect whether the virus in the specimen is highly homologous with New Coronavirus. If so, it can be diagnosed as New Coronavirus pneumonia. The virus is highly infectious and has the characteristics of human to human transmission, but the virus is sensitive to temperature and sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

Nasopharyngeal swab price：Welcome to email:flockedswabs@gmail.com

Nucleic acid detection and collection method:

(nucleic acid detection nasal swab)

1. Ask the patient to keep his head still and remove the secretions on the surface of the anterior nostril. The collector can stand on the side of the collector to reduce occupational exposure caused by coughing and sneezing and relieve the collector’s pressure.

2. Measure the distance from nostril to ear root with a swab and mark it by hand.

3. Gently insert the swab into the nostril in the direction perpendicular to the nose (face) through the nasal cavity, with a sense of touching the wall until the finger touches the nose, keep the swab in the nose for 15-30 seconds, and then rotate it gently for 3 times.

4. Put the swab into the virus delivery medium, break the swab rod and place it completely in the tube.

5. Tighten the pipe cover, mark it, put it in a plastic bag and seal it.

6. Send the samples for examination in time

Mouth Swab VS Nasal Swab

Mouth Swab VS Nasal Swab

Mouth Swab VS Nasal Swab

Recently, COVID-19 is prevalent worldwide.

It is one of the most serious public health problems in the world.

The diagnosis of COVID-19 requires the combination of epidemiological history, clinical manifestations and laboratory examination, especially the examination of pathogenic pathogens.

It is an important basis for the diagnosis of New Coronavirus disease.

The diagnosis of COVID-19 needs to be checked by nucleic acid. If we can detect the virus, we can diagnose the disease.

The new crown vaccine is mainly used for the examination of the secretion. The most common method is to check the nasal swabs and mouth swabs.

The secretion of nasopharynx is used for nucleic acid detection. If there are positive findings, we can diagnose the disease.

There are certain differences between Mouth Swab VS Nasal Swab.

First, there are certain differences in the methods and parts adopted. Nasal swabs generally enter from the nasal cavity and take the secretions at the back of the nasopharynx, while pharyngeal swabs enter from the mouth to the throat and take local secretions for inspection, that is, the two enter in different ways.

Secondly, there are certain differences in the impact of nasal swabs and pharyngeal swabs on patients. Relatively speaking, nasal swabs are not easy to be accepted by patients. After entering the nasal cavity, they often need to enter a certain depth before they can effectively take samples. For patients, it may cause local discomfort. Pharyngeal swabs enter from the mouth and take secretions from the throat, It may also cause irritation such as nausea.

In addition, the positive rate of samples taken from pharyngeal swabs and nasal swabs is generally not much different, but for pharyngeal swabs, there may be some differences due to the influence of some oral factors.

However, at present, pharyngeal swabs are more widely used in clinic, and even some samples need to be collected together with pharyngeal swabs and nasal swabs, There is a certain possibility to improve the positive rate.

Oral Swab Stick-Oropharyngeal sampling swab.

COVID-19 Oral Swab test is an important reference for diagnosis and evaluation of curative effect of new crown pneumonia.

Nucleic acid screening samples mainly come from deep cough sputum or pharyngeal swabs.

Pharyngeal swabs include nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs.

The results of COVID-19 nucleic acid test are also useful.

What is the key to the collection of nucleic acid test specimens from pharyngeal swabs?

Whether collecting nasopharyngeal swabs or oropharyngeal swabs, the collection depth is the key.

For example, if the nasopharyngeal swabs are not collected deep in the nasal cavity, most of the cells that may be collected are virus-free cells, which may cause “false negative”.

What is the difference between Oral Swab Stick and Nasal Swab?

Pharyngeal division includes nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. The mucosa of the three is continuous and belongs to the area of upper respiratory tract. The sampling path of nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swab is different. Oral sampling is oropharyngeal swab and nasal sampling is nasopharyngeal swab.

What are the advantages of nasopharyngeal swabs?

It can stay in the pharynx for a long time in order to obtain more sufficient specimens; The exposure risk of the sampler is lower than that of the oropharyngeal swab, because the sampler can stand behind the patient’s side during sampling, and the patient is required to pull down the mask to expose only the nostrils and cover the mouth without looking directly at the patient’s mouth, and there is basically no pharyngeal reflex. A few patients may have sneezing reflex after sampling, and the patient can be covered with elbows or paper towels, And because the sampler is not directly in front of the patient, the exposure risk is quite low, so the psychological pressure of the sampler will not be so great.

Can a positive oral swab stick confirm COVID-19?

The novel coronavirus novel coronavirus infection can be diagnosed by the new swab positive guide for new coronavirus infection, but it does not necessarily indicate pneumonia.

After infection with COVID-19, the old person may show two different infections, including fever, dry cough, weakness, and asymptomatic infection.

Patients with positive nucleic acid test of new crown must be isolated and treated.

Only when nucleic acid is negative for more than 24 hours, body temperature is normal and pneumonia symptoms disappear can isolation be lifted according to the situation.

How to sample oropharyngeal swabs?

First collect the oropharynx, gently and repeatedly wipe it for more than 3 times, and then collect the depth of the throat wall for more than 3 times.

The whole process takes about a few seconds. It may be a little disgusting, but there won’t be too many reactions. It’s more acceptable.

According to the personal experience of colleagues: slightly disgusting, but completely acceptable

The site experienced the collection of oropharyngeal swabs. The whole sampling process is only a few seconds and there is almost no discomfort.

Detection of viral nucleic acid sequence based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the main means for large-scale screening of new coronary pneumonia.

Generally, nucleic acid detection technology has the characteristics of early diagnosis, high sensitivity and specificity.

And it has the advantages of sample collection and preservation, personnel operation, nucleic acid extraction.

The performance of the kit is the cause of false negative or false positive test results.

Flocked swabs are the main samples for PCR. In the selection of raw materials, flocked glue plays a key role in the collection and release efficiency of swabs. Whether to use high-quality aqueous flocking glue is the main factor affecting the water absorption and hydrophilicity of fluff. The experiment is to compare the sample collection effects of swabs flocked with different glues.

What is a flocked tip swab？

The top of the flocking swab is a nylon fiber structure.

Nylon fibers are deposited on the surface of plastic rod in a certain direction by electrostatic field to form brush layer.

The layers are completely parallel and perpendicular to the inner rod surface.

Flocked tip swab brush head can effectively collect samples.

Flocked tip swab factory Product advantages.

The flocked swab can completely capture the cell sample through the directional friction effect of the brush fiber layer.

The capillary movement between the nylon fibers at the front end of the flocking swab can form a strong hydraulic pressure for absorbing liquid or cell line samples.

Cell samples can also be evenly and neatly concentrated on the near surface of brush fibers, so more than 95% of the samples can be released finally.

Cell Medical (Dongguan) Co., Ltd.  has many years of experience in medical application molding and flocking treatment heads and swabs.

Our flocked swabs are famous for their stable and reliable performance and excellent absorption and elution ability.

This article will introduce what is the flocked swab, the purpose of the flocking swab, the application of the COVID-19 flocked swab and the material of the flocked swab, etc. The flocked swab manufacturer introduces. Give you a comprehensive understanding of flocking swabs.

what is the flocked swab?

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.

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.
