Surface Sample Collection Swab |
Description:
This 8cm Foam Tip Swab is a specialized tool designed for the collection of microbiological samples, cellular
material, or chemical residues from surfaces. Unlike standard cotton swabs which can retain samples and shed
fibers, this device utilizes medical-grade polyurethane foam to maximize sample pickup and release. It is commonly
used in food safety testing, environmental monitoring (hygiene validation), diagnostic collection (buccal/oral), and
cleanroom manufacturing
Feature:
High-Performance Foam Tip Material
Feature: 100 ppi Reticulated Polyurethane Foam.
Description: The tip features an "open-cell" structure. This matrix acts like a sponge, offering high absorbency and excellent particle entrapment. When used in "wet" sampling (pre-moistened with buffer), it holds the liquid efficiently; when used on dry surfaces, it mechanically traps particles within its pores
Fiberless & Low Contaminant Design
Feature: Thermally bonded head; no adhesives or binders.
Description: The foam is thermally bonded to the polypropylene handle rather than glued. This eliminates the risk of the swab shedding fibers or leaching adhesive contaminants (like silicones or amides) into the sample. This ensures that the sample tested is accurate and not compromised by the collection device itself .
Excellent Sample Elution (Release)
Feature: High recovery rate in transport media.
Description: While foam is great at picking up samples, it is also engineered to let them go. The porous structure allows for efficient release of the specimen when the swab is agitated or vortexed in a transport medium or buffer, which is critical for achieving accurate PCR or culture results .
