How to Perform Mrsa Nasal Swab

How to Perform Mrsa Nasal Swab

Posted on by

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasingly rampant, and its infection spreads almost all over the world.

Together with AIDS and hepatitis B, it has become the three most difficult infectious diseases in the world.

How to prevent and control MRSA has become a problem that we cannot ignore.

The long-term treatment of MRSA infection, in addition to the direct economic burden on patients, will also generate some indirect costs, such as isolation, disinfection and so on.

n response to the prevalence of MRSA, we should propose strict detection and control measures.

MRSA screening is an important part of this.

Medical swabs are one of CellMedical’s specialties. Our goal is to ensure that our swabs give end users what they really need so they can always perform at the highest level.

In this article, we review what MRSA is, why using a nasal swab is the most effective way to test for MRSA, and how to perform a nasal swab test for MRSA.

What is MRSA?

MRSA, known as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

A highly drug-resistant strain of bacteria found mainly in people with long-term chronic diseases.

It is naturally resistant to penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics, and also has varying degrees of resistance to commonly used erythromycin, etimicin, ofloxacin and other drugs.

Mainly seen in patients with bloodstream infection, lung infection and other site infections.

If the treatment effect is not good after a variety of antibiotic anti-infection treatment, it is necessary to consider whether there is mrsa infection. This bacterium is only effective against antibiotics such as vancomycin, teicoplanin, and linezolid.

MRSA is contagious through person-to-person contact and when a contaminated person touches an object or surface and leaves behind germs that can spread.

About 126,000 people are hospitalized and 19,000 die from the bacteria each year.

MRSA Nasal Swab

A nationwide cross-sectional study of MRSA screening in more than 10,000 patients showed that screening sites included the nose, throat, underarm, perineum, and wound or implant sites. Nasal swabs identified only 66% of MRSA carriers, and further swab testing could increase the detection rate.

Nasal and perineal swabs were identified in 82% of patients, with the axilla being the least useful site for carrier identification (8% detection rate).

Standard screening methods should include at least two swabs (nasal swab plus perineal or pharyngeal swab).

According to the American Society for Microbiology, nasal swabs have a higher detection rate of MRSA than traditional swabs. Flocked swabs provide better sample collection because their brush-like tips release more target cells and retain more liquid sample than foam swabs.

Our flocked-Swab sterile swabs are designed for the collection and transport of clinically significant bacteria.

With molded breakpoints, sampling is fast, safe and convenient.

How to use MRSA Swab?

Once a sampling swab and transfer medium, such as CellMedical’s flocked-Swab media transfer system, has been selected, testers should wash their hands and wear clean gloves.

The process is as follows:

  1. Remove the nasal swab.
  2. Measure about 2 cm with a swab and mark with your finger.
  3. Insert a cotton swab about 2 cm (about 3/4 inch) into one nostril.
  4. Insert the swab into the nostril perpendicular to the nose (face), rotate the swab against the anterior nasal mucosa for 3 seconds, then gently rotate 3 times. .
  5. Using the same swab, repeat for the other nostril.
  6. Place the swab back into the virus delivery medium.
  7. Place the end of the swab firmly so that the tip of the swab is in contact with the wet swab.
  8. Tighten the cap of the tube, mark it well, and put it in a plastic bag and seal it.

Nasal Swab Covid Test

Some people need to be tested for COVID-19 with a quick swab.

The pros are sure: If it is possible for you to test both the nose and the throat at the same time.

Officially, the FDA follows inspection guidelines. Simply put, observe the subtests consistently during this period.

COVID19 test flocked swabs to exteriors.

What is a nasal swab?

COVID Swab test

COVID Swab test

A nasal swab is a test that checks for viruses in the nasal cavity, and the result is a test that checks the nasal cavity by a method.

Because of rhinitis in the nasal cavity, sinusitis, sinusitis, nasal cavity in the nasal cavity and other problems.

There are several respiratory infections, including the flu, COVID-19. A nasal swab can help your doctor determine the type of infection you have and which treatment is definitely best for you.

The test can be done by taking a sample of cells from your nostrils or nasopharynx.

A nasopharyngeal flocked swab is the uppermost part of the nose and throat.

Other names: Anterior nostril examination, turbinate swab, NMT swab, nasopharyngeal culture, nasopharyngeal swab

Why do I need a nasal swab?

01The positive detection rate of nasal swabs is higher.

When using a throat swab to detect the new coronavirus, the base of the tongue will instinctively prevent the cotton swab from going deep, and the cotton swab is not easy to reach the back wall of the pharynx. . The nasal swab is easier to reach the tested site and can stay in the nasopharynx for a long time, and the test results are more accurate. Students returning to school from the north and south of the river and by various means of transportation require us to improve the accuracy of testing in a responsible attitude to everyone’s health.

02Nasal swabs are safer for nucleic acid collection personnel.

During the nasal swab test, the tested person needs to wear a mask with only the nostrils exposed; while for the throat swab test, the tested person needs to open his mouth wide, and the exposed area is large. If the tested person coughs and retches, the nucleic acid tester may face a greater risk of infection. Once the testers are infected, the risk may spread to a wider range of people.

03 Throat swabs may be more uncomfortable than nasal swabs.

Throat swabs are collected across the base of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall, tonsillar recesses, sidewalls, etc., and repeatedly wiped 3 to 5 times to collect mucosal cells. In response, nasal swabs were relatively less irritating to the mucosa.

The entire nasopharyngeal swab process:

What to do before swab test

nasopharyngeal swab

You will throw your head back.
Your healthcare provider will insert the swab directly into your nostril until it reaches your nasopharynx (the top of your throat).
Your supplier will rotate the swab and remove it.
Do I need to do any preparation for the exam?
For nasal swabs, you don’t need any kind of special preparation.

The Mission of A Virus Test Swab

From the sampling point to the testing room, then to the temporary storage point of medical waste.

Then to the hazardous waste centre, to the power plant, and finally to the soil.

A swab for nucleic acid detection completed the task and became a piece of pollution-free ash and fill it in the soil.

At present, we are in a critical period of anti-epidemic.

An ordinary hospital has a maximum of 11,220 samples per day at a single sampling point.

The Mission of A Virus Test Swab

The Mission of A Virus Test Swab

At nine o’clock in the morning, at the nucleic acid testing and sampling service point, citizens who were ready to test lined up.

Everyone wears a mask and consciously separates one meter from each other.

At the beginning of the inspection window, the heavily armed nurses washed their hands with an antiseptic solution.

And then removed a flocked swab about 15 cm long from the packaging bag to take a sample before taking the throat swab.

The nurse opened the collector’s mouth wide, and she skillfully inserted the flocked swab into her pharynx.

Then picked up a sampling tube (virus transport medium) with her left hand. And inserted the collection stick into the sampling tube with her right.

With a little force, the tip of the cotton swab breaks enters the sampling tube, seals it. And throws the long stick into the yellow medical waste bin.

As a testing point for ordinary citizens and inpatients, as an ordinary citizen and inpatients, the use of cotton swabs in an ordinary hospital reached 11,220.

Medical waste treatment forms closed-loop management in nucleic acid testing laboratories.

Take the flocked swab, put the swab head into the sampling tube, and paste a barcode similar to “ID card”. And carefully seal it, put it into a transparent sealed box.

And then send it to the transfer cabin of the PCR laboratory of the Department of Infectious Diseases by staff wearing protective clothing.

The PCR laboratory is under negative pressure, and after the virus enters, it cannot come out. After the outbreak, the PCR laboratory strictly abides by the medical waste treatment process, forming closed-loop management of the laboratory.

An hour later, staff in protective suits transported medical waste out of the ward in sealed yellow bags and sealed with “extremely infectious waste”.

Then, the workers send these medical wastes by trolleys to the medical waste temporary storage area at the nucleic acid collection point 100 meters away. For the medical wastes for nucleic acid testing, he transports an average of about 35 kilograms per day.

We need to place the virus sampling tube for 48 hours during the transfer process

Except for professionals, our PCR laboratory does not allow patients and the public to enter here.

To ensure safety, all medical waste from nucleic acid testing collection points, including swab sticks, is kept here for 48 hours.

After our test results come out and are confirmed to be correct, they will be sent to the hazardous waste treatment centre by a medical waste transfer vehicle.

At ten o’clock in the morning, the staff of the hazardous waste centre arrived at the scene. Unload the empty shipping box and load the ship with medical waste that has been sitting for 48 hours.

The sampling flocked swabs used must be incinerated at high temperatures above 1100°C.

There are two buildings, an incineration workshop and a cooking room, in the yard of the Hazardous Waste Center.

The staff in protective suits skillfully unload boxes of medical waste from the transfer vehicle and load boxes of hazardous waste into bucket elevators.

How to Swab For Covid Test

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, we must have experienced nucleic acid testing. Covid swab test Nucleic acid detection plays a very important role in the process of infection diagnosis of COVID-19. It can not only find asymptomatic patients in the incubation period as much as possible but also greatly reduce the risk of infection.

Nucleic acid detection is so important. Next, Dr Li will take you to have an in-depth understanding of the relevant principles of nucleic acid detection, the difference between mixed collection and single collection of nucleic acid detection, and the matters needing attention in nucleic acid detection, to help you better protect yourself while popularizing knowledge.

To understand nucleic acid detection, we must understand the detection principle. Let’s take a look at its detection principle first.

The doctor is testing the patient's nasopharynx swab

The doctor is testing the patient’s nasopharynx swab

What is the principle of nucleic acid detection?

Nucleic acid, the genetic factor of the virus, is a macromolecular chain composed of four nucleotides. Different molecules represent different nucleotides and form a long chain. Nucleic acid detection is through the detection of nucleic acid in the chain, and this segment of nucleic acid is COVID-19 specific, other viruses do not.

Pcr test nasal swab and an antigen test difference for covid 19

Pcr test nasal swab and an antigen test difference for covid 19

The substance detected by the nucleic acid is the nucleic acid of the virus. At present, the detection technology is mainly through PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology to detect the nucleic acid of the virus. During the detection, the nucleic acid chain of COVID-19 was used as the detection target, and the target gene sequence was amplified by PCR Test, which was combined with a fluorescent labelled probe added in the test reagent to produce a fluorescence signal.

The three forms of nucleic acid detection have their advantages.

Nasal swab test

This test method is to insert the test swab vertically into the nostril. And gently rotate the swab, stay in the nasal cavity for about 15 seconds, to test.

Flocked Tip Swab Nylon Sterile Nasal Swab Stick

Compared with throat swabs, nasal swab testing is more accurate for inexperienced testing personnel. And the risk of exposure is lower. However, it is not suitable for some patients with nasal allergies, high blood pressure and people who take anticoagulation and antiplatelet for a long time.

Throat swab test

At present, the most widely used detection method is also a form that is often used by everyone. During the sampling process, the patient opened his mouth and made an “ah” sound, and the testing personnel used a sterilized cotton swab to gently and quickly wipe the pharyngeal lateral wall and posterior pharyngeal wall of the subject many times.

COVID-19 Testing:PCR swab test,antibody test, and antigen test difference

COVID-19 Testing: Throat swab test

Throat swab testing: Often used in the testing process because it is more convenient and fast to collect, and it is more acceptable to the public, but the risk of exposure is also greater.

Anal swab test

This test method is a method of inserting a test swab into the anus and taking a sample at the fold of the anus or taking a sample at 2 to 3 cm for a new coronavirus test.

Many patients reject anal swab testing, but anal swabs can improve the accuracy of testing for new coronavirus infections to a certain extent. Some patients indeed have negative throat swabs, but positive ones are detected by anal swabs. In some patients, the anal swab test was still positive after the other two tests turned negative.

Anal swab

Why do multiple nucleic acid tests need to be performed?

Multiple nucleic acid tests are necessary for epidemic prevention and control.
A negative nucleic acid test does not mean that the tested person is not at risk of infection. Any detection method has the possibility of errors, especially in high-risk areas. To ensure the accuracy of the inspection results and better prevent and control the spread of the epidemic, multiple rounds of inspections must be carried out. There are also the following reasons for taking multiple rounds of detection:

After virus infection, the human body has a certain value-added period. When testing, if the virus in the body does not reach a certain concentration, we may not detect the virus.

When the specimen was collected, due to the different sampling methods, no virus cells were collected. False-negative specimens can also lead to inaccurate collection results.

Errors in the transportation process and storage of samples for inspection will also affect the results of nucleic acid testing.

Therefore, for risk areas and special populations, multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing must be carried out to more accurately and effectively detect the virus source, so as to better and more accurately prevent and control and identify infected people, and cut off the source of the virus. No matter what kind of inspection process, attention must be paid.

Nasopharyngeal Swab Sample

Nasopharyngeal Swab Sample (Nasal Swab)

The nasopharyngeal swab: A specimen collection tool used to collect cell samples from the nasopharynx (above the throat).

When a patient develops an upper respiratory tract infection, doctors can use the collected samples to detect it, especially when the patient still has a fever.

In the experiment, technicians can detect common sources of infection, including potential pathogens such as the new crown and swine flu.

How is the COVID-19 nasal swab test performed?

Such tests can be uncomfortable for patients, but can quickly identify serious respiratory illnesses, especially those that require isolation or infection prevention measures to protect other patients.

Doctors can use cell cultures to determine the type of current infection. Factory-produced nasopharyngeal swabs cannot use natural substances such as cotton, as they may contain some impurities that will affect the detection.

Nasopharyngeal Swab materials

The nasopharyngeal swabs produced and sold by Cell Medical Company are flocked materials. Learn more about flocked swabs.

flocked swab

flocked swab

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

In general, a caregiver can place a sealed package (safety bag) next to the patient, and the caregiver places a sample container next to the patient, which contains a culture medium that maintains cellular and microbial viability for evaluation. This is the viral transport medium.

Laboratory technicians can detect the source of infection through nasopharyngeal swabs, and they should wear gloves and masks when collecting nasopharyngeal swabs.

Face protection is an effective measure to prevent patients from contracting respiratory diseases.

Nasopharyngeal swab collection

When taking the sample, gently insert the swab into the nose by hand, pushing it all the way to the nasopharynx. Patients often experience discomfort, convulsions, or spasms; for this, they sometimes need to suppress this response by leaning their heads against a wall or pillow.

When the nasopharyngeal swab is fully in, the caregiver can briefly swirl to collect the cell mixture, remove it, and place it in the specimen collection container. (Virus sampling tube)

After the sampler obtains the sample, he should immediately send it to the laboratory for PCR testing.

Waiting or not storing at low temperature may kill microorganisms that may be present in the sample, resulting in false-negative test results.

Patients usually get results within a day or two.

Inspection is capable of scanning for many common microorganisms.

When infectious diseases appear in epidemic areas, nasopharyngeal swabs and other microorganisms can be labelled to detect new crowns, swine flu and other microorganisms.

The doctor can try the test results to guide the patient’s treatment.

They can also help epidemiologists track the movement of diseases in the community, which is very useful for controlling disease outbreaks.

Is the DNA test of the saliva swab accurate?


Many people doubt the accuracy of the saliva swab test.


However, you can rest assured, because the accuracy of oral saliva swab testing is as accurate as other DNA testing methods.


Moreover, this is not the same as a finger puncture or a blood test, it is not painful at all.


In recent years, DNA testing has become more and more popular.


Whether you want to confirm your parental relationship, understand where your genes come from or want to optimize your exercise.


We are currently working on direct-to-consumer DNA testing of saliva swabs.


You have decided to use DNA testing to better understand your body and optimize your training.


However, before you take the first step and buy a set of home DNA testing kits, you should have some concerns.


Although most of the feedback and research has been confirmed to be positive, we are here to learn more about this and help you make an informed decision.


How much saliva is needed for a DNA test?

2ml-4ml.


The saliva collection components are easy to use, and each set has detailed instructions.


You can provide samples for different health conditions, including common medications used during pregnancy, colds or flu (including medications for acid reflux or heartburn).


But if you want to use drugs to reduce the white blood cell count, such as chemotherapy, you’d better wait two weeks or wait until the white blood cell count returns to normal.


After mixing with DNA stabilizing buffer, the temperature range of your saliva sample (-4oF to 122oF) is stable.


Please send the collected samples to the laboratory as soon as possible.




Is the DNA test at home accurate?


Yes, DNA testing at home is very accurate.


You will only encounter errors when the genetic sample is damaged (for example, you have eaten before the sample is collected) or the laboratory quality is poor.


Therefore, it is necessary to choose a well-known DNA testing supplier for testing.


An accurate genetic test report can know in advance whether the body is in danger of disease.


By improving the living environment and behaviour habits, avoiding or delaying the occurrence of the disease, or determining whether there is a specific drug in the case of malignant disease.


Target, so as to more accurately select the treatment method.


The results in each report are derived from at least three peer-reviewed research papers.


It just repeats the genes that have an impact on health, health and nutrition.


This means that you can change the way of real-life based on the genetic variants you carry.

Before starting, please read the instructions carefully:


Before wiping dry, make sure you have nothing to eat or drink.


-The best time to take the exam is to brush your teeth in the morning and the first thing before drinking the first cup of tea.

Before taking the test, it is best to open the sealed mouth swab to ensure that it will not be affected.


After removing the cotton swab, open your mouth and use a pointed tip (cotton swab, slightly larger) to gently wipe your cheeks.


Try not to scrub vigorously, because the important part of the sample is saliva.


Be sure not to put paper towels in the plastic container provided.


Take care to break the pole where it is needed.


Fill out the attachments, sign and seal the enclosed envelope, and then send it to the laboratory for inspection.


Bear with patience and watch your test. This process will start with the receipt of samples in the laboratory and will take 10-14 days.


Is the accuracy of mouth swab detection relative to other DNA collection methods?


Because the saliva swab is noninvasive, many people question its accuracy.


However, you can rest assured that the accuracy of oral swab detection is as accurate as other DNA detection methods. And, unlike finger punctures or blood tests, it doesn’t hurt at all.


Whether you are building a cabinet in IKEA, pressing a map or doing DNA testing, you can get accurate results as long as you follow the instructions.


Remember, DNA testing is wrong only if your test results are wrong or you don’t follow the instructions.


Cost is an important factor in performing such tests, so it must be studied.


Often, you don’t just pay for the test suite. You also have to pay a test fee to analyze your results. If the test you selected does not belong to the laboratory, please choose a supplier with a good reputation and excellent laboratory.

How does a Covid Mouth Swab Test work?


I went for a swab test for the new coronavirus the day before yesterday, and the result came out yesterday and it was negative. Some friends asked me, is the throat swab test painful? How to do it? What are the types of COVID-19 tests? What COVID-19 test is more accurate? Today, Dr Lee came to give everyone a popular science.


You can use a variety of tests to determine whether you have COVID-19. Some tests are collected by mouth swabs, and some are collected by nasal swabs or saliva. In the experiment, an oral flocked swab was used to collect samples from the oral cavity for oral inspection. This is different from a saliva test, which spits out saliva into a small container.

    5. 



What is a mouth swab? Painful?


The COVID-19 test is the most important way to diagnose the new coronavirus. Nucleic acid is the genetic material RNA of the new coronavirus. The nucleic acid test is to check a certain segment of RNA. If it is positive, it means that you are infected with the new coronavirus.

According to different sampling sites, nucleic acid detection can be divided into many types, such as throat swabs, anal swabs, tracheal secretions, alveolar lavage fluid, and so on.

Among them, throat swabs are the most commonly used, and oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal secretions are taken for laboratory tests.


Oropharyngeal swab, the inspection process is very fast, no more than 10 seconds, only needs to open the mouth, and the staff uses a cotton swab to take a sample in the oropharynx.

When sampling, there will be a slight pain, and when the throat is stimulated, there will be a feeling of vomiting.


But the feeling is not strong, and it will be fine for a while.


According to British colleagues, the nasopharyngeal swab is more uncomfortable, and the pain will be greater because the nasopharyngeal swab needs to be completely pricked into the nose. Learn more about nasal swabs Please click here


How to interpret the results of the Oral swab test?


Nucleic acid(COVID-19) testing usually produces results within 24 hours. If you check today, the results will be known the next day. The results are nothing more than two cases, negative or positive.


Does negative mean there is no infection?


It is not 100% certain, because nucleic acid testing has a certain probability of false negatives. For example, in the early stage of the disease, the virus content is very low, and it may not be detected, or the sampling is not taken properly, and the sensitivity of the detection reagents, operation Whether it is standardized or not, etc., are affected by many factors.

There are different ways to do a COVID-19 mouth swab:


    

  • 1. The patient needs to sit with his head back, open the mouth, and then remove the nasal cavity and the secretions on the oral surface.

  • 2. The collector uses a special tongue depressor to fix the patient’s tongue, and then cross the throat with the collecting tool, and the tonsils directly to the position where the specimen is taken.
    • 

  • 3. After repeated wiping of the collection table, mucosal cells can be directly extracted.
    • 

  • 4. Take out the collected throat swabs. Be careful not to touch the oral mucosa, tongue and saliva secreted by the oral cavity during this process to prevent inaccurate test results.
    • 

  • 5. Put the extracted throat swab into a special device and transport it to the laboratory for examination.
    • 



You may need to take specific steps before the test so that the results are as accurate as possible. If you need to book an appointment, ask if there’s anything you should avoid on the day of your test. Some types of tests that use saliva require that you don’t eat, drink, smoke, brush your teeth, or chew gum 30 minutes before the test (FDA, 2020).


What are the types of COVID-19 tests?


In the UK, when diagnosing COVID-19, there are usually two main types of tests:


Molecular biology tests, such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), are used to find viral genetic material.


Look for the antigen detection of the virus shell.


Either test can be done with a nasal swab or a mouth swab. Saliva can also be used for PCR detection (FDA, 2021a). Although saliva and oral swab tests may sound the same thing, they are actually slightly different. The saliva test requires you to spit into the tube, while the oral swab test is to wipe a sample in the mouth with a cotton swab.


Nasal mucosal secretions follow the same rules, but the difference is that you or a health care professional collect the sample from your nose instead of your mouth.


Another type of test is antibody testing (also called serological testing). These two data can’t tell you whether you are infected now but can tell you whether you have been infected before or if you have been vaccinated before. Antibody testing usually requires a blood sample.


What COVID-19 test is more accurate?


How to interpret the swab test results


Nucleic acid testing usually produces results within 24 hours. If you check today, the results will be known the next day. The results are nothing more than two cases, negative or positive.


Does negative mean there is no infection?


It is not 100% certain, because nucleic acid testing has a certain probability of false negatives.


For example, in the early stage of the disease, the virus content is very low, and it may not be detected, or the sampling is not taken properly, and the sensitivity of the detection reagents, operation Whether it is standardized or not, etc., are affected by many factors.


With the continuous optimization of detection methods and the continuous updating of reagents, the sensitivity of detection is now higher, and the probability of false negatives is lower than before.


If it is negative, there is a high probability that it has not been infected with the new coronavirus.


For some high-risk groups, close contacts, and suspected clinically highly suspected cases, one negative may not be enough, and two, three, or even multiple tests may be required.


Notice


Even if you have been tested before, COVID-19 testing is difficult to cope with. But the test should be able to relieve stress and not cause stress.

In any case, the knowledge of COVID detection technology is constantly changing. If you want to know if you want to be tested and how it works, we will help you at any time. Here is some information about oral swab COVID testing and other information to determine whether COVID-19 is COVID-19, you need to know.

According to the US Chinese website, with the spread of the Omi Keron variant of the new crown virus in the United States, the epidemic situation in New York State, where the largest city of New York is located, continues to deteriorate.


The number of newly confirmed cases hit a new high for two consecutive days on the 17th and 18th.


New York case consecutive record high


According to reports, on the 18th local time, New York State reported 21,908 new cases.


Although the number of cases in New York State has increased, the number of hospitalizations and deaths is still lower than the previous peak of the epidemic. In New York City, many residents report that there have been long lines at swab testing centres in recent days.

what is a flocked swab?


The cell medical company flocking swab is made of nylon fiber flocking technology. The front end of the flocking swab rod is coated with nylon short fiber fixed vertically so that there is no absorption hole in the whole collection swab collection area. Learn more


The sample will not disperse and remain in the fiber, which is conducive to faster and more efficient elution.


To limit the damage to the sample and improve the accuracy of detection, the cotton swab is made of completely inert parts.


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






what are flocked swabs used for?


Flocked swabs are specimen collection devices that are ideal for use in diagnostic testing.


They are capable of efficiently collecting organisms and cells at the collection site and have the ability to rapidly release cells.


If the swab head is flocking, it is a flocking swab.


1. Sample collection and transportation.


The outbreak of the new crown epidemic, no matter where we are. We may have been exposed to nucleic acid testing, and most of the sampling swabs used by medical staff are flocked materials.


The nasopharyngeal sampling swab is composed of a nylon short fiber fluff head and medical-grade ABS plastic rod. The role of nylon short fiber is like a soft brush, which can effectively improve the collection of cell material; the capillary movement between the fibers forms a strong hydraulic pressure, thereby taking in the liquid sample; at the same time, the sample is close to the surface of the swab and is easy to wash.

What Makes Flocked Swabs Different than Traditional Swabs?




We all know cotton swabs, but we may not know flocking sampling swabs.


XiaoLee will discuss with you what flocking swabs are and what are the advantages of flocking swabs over cotton swabs.




Our company uses the existing technology “spraying technology” to vertically attach millions of nylon microfibers to the head of a medical-grade handle through the flocking process of electrostatic charge. The function of vertical nylon fiber is similar to that of a soft brush. Using this soft brush in the sampling process makes the user feel no foreign matter. At the same time, the flocking swabs used in different parts adopt different breaking points, and the rod adopts different thicknesses to make the softness different.


Traditional cotton swabs cannot 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.


For example, nasal swab, the upper end of the rod is thinner and softer, and its breaking point is longer.


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

About Flocked swab specimens?


The detection of viral nucleic acid sequence based on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology is the main method for large-scale screening of new coronary pneumonia. Normally, nucleic acid detection technology has the characteristics of early diagnosis, high sensitivity and specificity, but Sample collection and storage, personnel operation, nucleic acid extraction, kit performance, etc. are all causes of false-negative or false-positive test results.


Flocking swabs are the main test samples for PCR. In the selection of raw materials, flocking glue plays a key role in the collection and release efficiency of swabs. Whether to use high-quality water-based flocking glue is the main factor that affects the water absorption and hydrophilicity of villi.


Are flocked swabs used for flu testing?
