New Swab Design
offers an aid to sample collection
New Swab Design. When using regular fibre-tipped swabs, it happens that a large percentage of the sample collected remains entrapped in the fibre matrix of the tip. The perpendicular nylon fibres of the new Sterilin ‘flocked’ swab act like a soft brush, allowing for improved collection and release of both cellular and liquid samples. Tests have shown that the flocked swab releases up to 95% of the sample collected compared to 25% in a standard fibre-tipped swab - which is particularly important if the sample is very small. The swab is made from completely inert components. New Swab Design
