In appearance, our throat swab should be straight, neat, smooth, uniform in color,

free of burrs, mildew, scars, scratches, cracks and other defects. As a qualified swab, it should be very good.

Clean, odorless, and soft to the touch, without maculas, stains, or foreign objects.

In terms of performance, the swab should be able to withstand 4N static pressure perpendicular to the axial direction for 15 seconds without permanent deformation or breaking.

The breaking force of the depression at the sampling tip should be no less than 2N.
