Patented FLOQSwabs™ comprise of a solid molded plastic applicator shaft with a tip that can vary in size and shape, coated with short Nylon® fibers that are arranged in perpendicular fashion. FLOQSwabs™ have no internal absorbent core to disperse and entrap the specimen - as traditional fiber swabs - but the entire sample stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution. Copan FLOQSwabs™ represent a breakthrough to guarantee that even minute amounts of DNA can be collected and are available for testing. > BETTER SAMPLE COLLECTION By simple contact with the swab tip, liquid samples are...

FORMATS GENETICS > IN PEEL POUCH 4N6FLOQSwabs™ with moulded breakpoint is available in a convenient peelpouch format. The swab must NOT be reinserted into the peelpouch after sample collection. > IN DRY TUBE After collection, the regular size 4N6 FLOQSwabs™ can be inserted back into the transport tube and sent to the testing laboratory. The plastic tube guarantees the swab integrity and avoids risks of sample contamination during transport. Every tube is identified with a Data Matrix code bearing a uniquely assigned numeric data for safe and easy sample traceability and tracking. Regular size...

NUCLEIC ACID OPTIMIZER The Nucleic Acid Optimizer is a special plastic semi-permeable basket that allows fast and complete recovery of nucleic acids from swab samples, card punches or other specimens into the sample tube. NAOBasket™ is designed with a collapsable grid bottom that allows passage of all eluted DNA sample from the collection device (i.e. swab) during the high speed centrifugation step, while guaranteeing the perfect tightness of the system during vortexing. PLUS FEATURES • 60% increased recovery of DNA from the specimen • Ability to release all DNA from the swab after high speed...
