Flocked Oropharyngeal Swab CY-93050

Mainly used for microbiological samples collected from the pharynx, with excellent sample collection and release capabilities, rapid adsorption of trace samples and high release efficiency.

Advantages of oropharyngeal swabs:

①, in order to improve the efficiency of swab collection, to meet the demand of end consumers for high-quality products.
②, innovative jet implanted nylon fibre technology to maximize the sampling swab sampling efficiency, nylon fibres are vertically and uniformly attached to the surface of the swab head, greatly increasing the efficiency of the collection and release of cellular and viral samples.
③、Improve the sensitivity of analysis, no specimen residue, speed up the process of specimen processing, ABS plastic rod unique breakable design.
④、It is suitable for cervical, nasopharyngeal, oral pharyngeal and forensic collection of samples and viruses, DNA and other samples.
⑤.Upright nylon fibre is like a soft brush to collect more specimens. The capillary action between the nylon fibres enhances the aqueous sample load, and the samples are concentrated on the surface of the swab easier to elute.
④, it has an outstanding sample collection and release ability, which enables rapid adsorption of trace samples and high efficiency when releasing. The increased number of target cells helps to improve the sensitivity of rapid diagnostic tests.
⑦, flocking swabs in used for nasopharyngeal sampling, microbial sampling, especially in the collection of viruses and DNA effect has obvious advantages.
⑧, 100,000 class purified environment, strict production process conditions, in ISO13485 quality control and product CE requirements. No DNA enzyme and RNA enzyme, no endotoxin, no cytostatic agent.

Sampling method of oropharyngeal swab:

①, let the patient sit down first, then let the patient tilt his head back, open his mouth wide and make ah~~ sound.
②, the sampler fixes the patient’s tongue with a tongue depressor, and uses polyester or calcium alginate to cross the root of the tongue to reach the posterior wall of the pharynx and the crypts and lateral walls of the tonsils.
(iii) Repeatedly swab 3-5 times to collect mucosal cells.
Remove the swab slowly from the mouth, put it vertically into the sampling tube, break the end of the throat swab, and tighten the sampling tube to avoid leakage.
⑤. Send to the laboratory for examination as soon as possible.

Swab head
Material:
Nylon fiber: Currently, nylon fiber is the most widely used. It has good biocompatibility, will not harm human cells, and will not interfere with subsequent testing processes. At the same time, the hydrophilicity of nylon fiber enables it to quickly adsorb and release samples, improving the efficiency of sample collection and release.
Polyester fiber: Some flocked throat swabs also use polyester fiber, which has stable chemical properties, can maintain structural integrity during sample collection, and also has good adsorption performance.
Process:
Flocking process: Nylon or polyester fiber is vertically fixed to the surface of the swab head through electrostatic flocking technology. During the flocking process, the fiber is evenly implanted in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the swab head under the action of the electrostatic field, forming a brush-like structure. This structure greatly increases the contact area between the swab head and the sampling site, and can more effectively collect epithelial cells, microorganisms and other samples in the oral cavity and pharynx.
Surface treatment: In order to further improve the ability to collect and release samples, some flocked swab heads will undergo special surface treatment. For example, through chemical coating treatment, the fiber surface is given a specific charge or chemical group to enhance the adsorption and affinity for the sample.
Swab rod
Material:
Plastic material: Common plastic materials include polypropylene (PP), which has good strength and toughness, is not easy to break, and has low cost. In addition, the chemical properties of PP material are stable and will not react chemically with the sample, ensuring the stability of the sample.
Metal material: Some specially designed throat swabs may use metal materials such as aluminum rods. Metal rods are strong and can better maintain the shape of the swab during the sampling process, especially for situations where sampling needs to be carried out in-depth in the oral cavity or complex parts of the pharynx.
Degradable material: With the increase of environmental awareness, some flocked throat swabs have begun to use degradable materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA). These materials can gradually decompose in the natural environment, reducing the impact of medical waste on the environment.
