Flocked swabs are a special type of swab. The tip of flocked swab consists of multi-length fiber to an adhesive coated surface. This swab has a "breakpoint". A breakpoint is a hole in the swab shaft that allows you to break the end of swab easily into the transport tube. Flocked swabs are the best choice for rapid diagnostic tests because they can better collect cells or organisms and quickly release the whole cell. According to the application, flocked swabs can divide into Nasopharyngeal Swabs, Oral Swabs.
