FLOQSwabs® Flocked Swabs 552C

The FLOQSwabs® 552C Regular Flocked Swab is a premium specimen collection device engineered for superior sample collection and release efficiency in clinical, microbiological, and molecular diagnostic workflows. Featuring advanced Nylon® flocked fiber technology, the swab enables enhanced capillary action, ensuring optimal uptake and rapid release of biological specimens.

Unlike traditional fiber swabs, FLOQSwabs utilize a perpendicular nylon fiber structure, forming a thin absorbent layer that improves specimen recovery and analytical sensitivity—making them ideal for PCR, culture, antigen testing, and forensic applications.

The swab incorporates a precision-engineered breakpoint at 80 mm, allowing safe and controlled transfer of the specimen tip into transport tubes. Each swab is supplied in a sterile dry tube configuration, ensuring contamination-free sample handling and secure transport.
