Nylon sampling swabs have a wide range of specific applications. Here are some main fields:

Medical detection field

• Virus detection: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nylon sampling swabs were widely used to collect samples from parts of the human body such as the nose and throat to detect whether there is an infection with the new coronavirus. In addition, for the detection of other respiratory viruses such as influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus, nylon swabs can also effectively collect samples and provide a basis for disease diagnosis.
• Bacterial culture: Used to collect bacterial samples from parts such as wounds, skin, and mucous membranes for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to help doctors determine the types of pathogenic bacteria causing infections and select appropriate antibacterial drugs for treatment.
• Genetic testing: In genetic testing, nylon sampling swabs can collect samples such as oral mucosal cells and blood for extracting DNA or RNA for genotyping, genetic disease diagnosis, and tumor gene detection.

Environmental monitoring field

• Water quality detection: Can be used to collect microbial samples in water bodies, such as detecting microbial indicators such as bacteria, viruses, and algae in drinking water sources to assess the sanitary condition of water quality and detect potential water pollution problems in time.
• Air detection: By waving a nylon sampling swab in a specific environment, it can adsorb particles such as microorganisms, pollen, and dust in the air, and then analyze to understand the types and quantities of microorganisms in the air and assess air quality.
• Object surface detection: Wipe and sample the surfaces of objects in public places such as elevator buttons, door handles, and tables to detect the microbial contamination on the surface and provide a basis for environmental hygiene management.

Food hygiene field

• Food processing link detection: In the food production and processing process, it is used to collect samples from the surfaces of food processing equipment, production lines, packaging materials, etc., to detect whether there is microbial contamination such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts to ensure the hygienic safety of the food production process.
• Tableware detection: Wipe and sample tableware, plates, cups and other tableware in restaurants, cafeterias and other places to detect the cleanliness of their surfaces and determine whether they meet hygienic standards to prevent the spread of foodborne diseases caused by tableware contamination.
• Food itself detection: Samples can be directly wiped on the surface of food to detect the microbial content on food and assess the freshness and safety of food, such as detecting pesticide residues and microbial contamination on the surface of fruits and vegetables.

Industrial detection field

• Pharmaceutical industry: In the drug production process, nylon sampling swabs can be used to collect samples such as air in clean rooms, equipment surfaces, and staff work clothes to detect microbial contamination and ensure the sterility of the drug production environment and drug quality.
• Cosmetics industry: Sample and detect equipment, containers, packaging materials, etc. in cosmetics production workshops to prevent microbial contamination of cosmetics and ensure product quality and safety.
• Electronic industry: In ultra-clean workshops such as electronic chip manufacturing and semiconductor production, nylon sampling swabs can be used to collect dust particles and microorganisms in the air and monitor the cleanliness of the workshop to prevent dust particles from affecting the quality of electronic products.
