The specific applications of the universal transport medium and nylon cotton swabs are as follows:

Specific Applications of the Universal Transport Medium

• Medical Testing
  • Virus Detection: It is used to collect, transport, and preserve clinical specimens containing viruses, such as the novel coronavirus, influenza virus, etc., ensuring the activity and integrity of the viruses during the process from sampling to testing, so as to facilitate subsequent molecular diagnostic tests.
  • Detection of Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, or Ureaplasma: It can maintain the biological viability of these pathogens and provide reliable samples for the diagnosis of related diseases.
• Microbiological Testing
  • Bacterial Detection: In the fields of environmental microbiological testing, food microbiological testing, etc., it can be used to transport the collected bacterial samples, ensuring the survival state of the bacteria, which is convenient for operations such as culturing and identification in the laboratory.
  • Fungal Detection: For the collected fungal samples, the universal transport medium can provide a suitable environment to prevent the fungi from dying or mutating during transportation, which is helpful for accurate detection and analysis.

Specific Applications of Nylon Cotton Swabs

• Medical Field
  • Nucleic Acid Testing: It is a commonly used sampling tool for nucleic acid testing, such as nasopharyngeal swabs and oropharyngeal swabs, which can effectively collect cell or biological samples in the nasal cavity and oral cavity, and are used for nucleic acid testing of the novel coronavirus, as well as nucleic acid testing of other viruses or pathogens.
  • DNA Sampling: In the fields of forensic medicine, genetics, etc., it is used to collect samples of oral mucosal cells, skin cells, etc., in order to conduct DNA analysis, such as paternity testing, evidence collection at crime scenes, etc.
  • Microbiological Sampling: It can be used to collect microbial samples from parts such as the skin surface, wound surface, oral cavity, and vagina, to detect the presence of pathogens such as bacteria and fungi, and assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
• Daily Life
  • Makeup and Makeup Removal: It can be used to correct makeup, such as dipping in makeup remover to wipe smudged eyeshadow, crooked eyeliner, etc.; it can also be dipped in eyebrow powder, eyeliner paste, etc. for makeup application to achieve a more precise smearing effect.
  • Ear Cleaning: It can gently wipe the earwax in the external auditory canal, but be careful not to go deep into the ear canal to avoid damaging the eardrum or causing ear canal infection.
  • Other Cleaning: It can be used to clean the gaps of electronic products, the keys of the keyboard and other small parts; it can also be dipped in cleaning liquid to clean small items such as jewelry.
• Scientific Research Field
  • Cell Culture: In cell biology experiments, it can be used to collect cell samples, such as separating cells from tissues, collecting cultured cells, etc., which is convenient for experimental operations such as cell morphology observation and cell function research.
  • Plant Sample Collection: In botanical research, it can be used to collect samples of microorganisms on the surface of plant leaves, plant cells, etc., and is used for research in aspects such as plant pathology and plant physiology.
