Description

Flocked swabs provide improved sample collection. The velvet brush-like texture rapidly and efficiently dislodges cells and collects liquid by capillarity. With no internal mattress core to disperse and entrap the precious sample like traditional fiber wound swabs, the entire sample stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution.
