Synthetic fiber swabs

Synthetic fiber swabs have some of the following advantages:
Good flexibility: they do not break easily in use.
Low adsorption: less adsorption to the sample, better able to maintain the integrity of the sample.
Chemical resistance: able to withstand some chemical reagents, not easily affected.
Good consistency: more stable production quality and more consistent performance.
Relatively low cost.

Synthetic fiber swabs are usually made of synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. These materials are tough and durable.

The main differences between synthetic fiber swabs and traditional cotton swabs are as follows:
Adsorption: cotton swabs are more adsorbent to the sample, which may lead to sample loss; synthetic fiber swabs are less adsorbent, which is more conducive to the collection and detection of samples.
Flexibility: synthetic fiber swabs are more flexible and not easy to break.
Chemical resistance: synthetic fiber swabs are more resistant to chemicals.
Consistency: Synthetic fiber swabs are more stable in production quality and have better performance consistency.
Cost: cotton swabs are relatively low cost.

Synthetic fiber swabs are suitable for some of the following scenarios:
Medical testing: e.g. nucleic acid testing, pathogen testing, etc.
Biological sample collection: such as collecting oral swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs, etc.
Environmental monitoring: to collect samples such as microorganisms in the environment.
Forensic identification: for collecting evidence such as fingerprints and body fluids.
