About FLOQSwab® Flocked Collection Swabs
Invented by COPAN, FLOQSwab® flocked swabs are a special type of swab produced with an applicator tip that is spray-coated with short Nylon® fibers arranged perpendicularly. Unlike traditional swabs made with materials that can trap the specimen, flocked swabs use a thin absorbent layer of Nylon® fibers with no internal core, allowing greater sample uptake and release.
*Consult with the assay manufacturer’s instructions for use for compatibility and specific target analyte processing directions.
