The development history of Disposable Sampling Swabs.
Cotton swab is the first generation of sampling swab and it has been widely used for the hospitals, however, the collection capacity is limited and the collected specimen can’t be released completely. It is still the major sampling swab since the price is very cheap, but cotton swab can’t be used for the customer who has strict requirement for specimen collection. Foam swab is the second generation, it collects more than cotton swab but the collected specimen has been trapped.
Flocked swab is the third generation and it will be the major sampling swab, it has been widely used for flu specimen collection, DNA & Gene specimen collection, HPV & TCT specimen collection. Flocked swab collects more and releases more, furthermore, the flocked fabric would make patient more comfortable. MandeLab is a manufacturer specialized in producing Cotton Swabs, Foam Swabs and Flocked Swabs, and also we pack sampling swabs and transport mediums together to make sampling kits.
