Nylon sampling swabs have the following characteristics:

Material Advantages

• Excellent Flexibility and Strength: The nylon material endows the swabs with good flexibility and strength. They will not break easily during the sampling process and can be flexibly adjusted in shape according to different sampling sites, adapting to various curved or narrow parts such as the nasal cavity, throat, and cervix, which facilitates the sampling operation.
• Good Biocompatibility: Nylon fibers have good biocompatibility. They are non-toxic and non-irritating to human tissues and cells, will not cause harm to the sampled parts, and will not affect the activity of samples or the test results. They are suitable for collecting a variety of biological samples, such as cells, microorganisms, and viruses.

Outstanding Sampling Performance

• High Sampling Efficiency: The nylon fibers are closely arranged and have a fluffy shape, which can greatly increase the contact area with samples. Just like a soft brush, they can effectively adsorb and retain more samples, improving the effectiveness and accuracy of sampling. They are especially suitable for collecting trace samples to ensure that enough cells, viruses, and other substances are collected for testing.
• Strong Adsorption: The nylon fibers themselves have relatively strong adsorption properties and can quickly adsorb various components in samples, including cells, viruses, bacteria, and proteins, ensuring the integrity of samples and reducing sample loss during the sampling process, thus improving the sensitivity of detection.

Convenient Sample Handling

• Easy to Elute: The collected samples can be easily eluted from the nylon swabs. The special fiber structure and surface properties enable the samples to be quickly and completely released into the detection reagents in subsequent detection and analysis, facilitating various laboratory tests such as nucleic acid testing, microbial culture, and immunoassay, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of detection.
• No Sample Retention: Compared with traditional cotton swabs, nylon flocked swabs do not have an internal adsorption core that would disperse and trap samples. All samples are concentrated on the surface layer of the swabs and will not remain in the fiber matrix, avoiding problems such as inaccurate test results caused by sample retention. They can transfer specimens faster and with less residue, making the test results more reliable.

Good User Experience

• High Comfort: Nylon sampling swabs are soft in texture and cause little irritation to the sampled parts, making them more comfortable to use. They can effectively reduce the discomfort of the sampled person, especially when sampling sensitive parts such as the nasopharynx and cervix, reducing the pain and resistance of patients and improving the cooperation degree of sampling.
• Low Fiber Shedding: The specially treated nylon fibers are firmly attached to the swab shaft and are not prone to fiber shedding during normal use, avoiding hair contamination in samples, and ensuring the purity of samples and the accuracy of test results.

High Safety

• Good Sterility: Most nylon sampling swabs are produced in a high-standard clean environment and have undergone strict sterilization treatments, such as ethylene oxide sterilization, ensuring that the products are sterile and reducing the risk of sample contamination and detection errors caused by the swabs themselves carrying microorganisms, providing a guarantee for the accuracy of test results.
• Free of Harmful Substances: The nylon material itself does not contain harmful substances, such as carcinogens, RNase, DNase, endotoxins, and cell inhibitors, and will not have adverse effects on humans and samples, ensuring the safety of sampling and testing.

Humanized Design

• Breakable Design: The shaft of the nylon sampling swab is usually made of polymer materials and has a breakable point, which is convenient for breaking off the swab head after sampling and putting it into the corresponding sample preservation tube or detection reagent. The operation is simple, and it also avoids problems such as sample dilution or loss that may be caused by putting the whole swab in.
• Diverse Specifications: To meet the needs of different sampling sites and detection requirements, nylon sampling swabs are available in a variety of lengths, shapes, and specifications. For example, nasal swabs are usually long and slender, while oral swabs are relatively short and thick. Users can choose the appropriate swabs according to specific situations to improve the accuracy and efficiency of sampling.
