Features
Why Flocked?
Unlike traditional fiber swabs, FLOQSwabs® consists of a solid molded plastic applicator shaft and an outer Nylon® fiber structure which eliminates sample entrapment and exhibits powerful capillary action, keeping the sample close to the surface.
More Sample Available for Testing
FLOQSwabs® unique flocked design allows for rapid sample uptake and instantaneous elution, resulting in evidence-based, improved pathogen recovery.
Better Diagnostics Begin with Better Specimen Collection!
Developed through collaboration with physicians and microbiologists, anatomically designed FLOQSwabs® balance patient comfort while providing optimized sample collection and transport for improved assay sensitivity and expanded testing capabilities.
A Winning Combination
FLOQSwabs® can be paired with different bacteriology and virology collection and transport media, expanding their flexibility even further and making them compatible with countless downstream assays.
