Product catalog summary
Introduction to Advanced Flock Technology
PurFlock® and HydraFlock® represent advanced flock technology designed to enhance specimen collection and testing. These technologies utilize multilength filament structures to improve contact with specimens, offering high purity and excellent absorption and elution capabilities.

Product Features
  • PurFlock®: Known for its high purity and excellent absorption and elution properties.
  • HydraFlock®: Features a unique microstructure that enhances rapid absorption and elution.
  • Both products do not have protein coatings, preventing overgrowth.

Technological Advancements
PurFlock® and HydraFlock® are composite fibers that improve sample acquisition and testing in fields like microbiology and forensic science. Unlike conventional swabs, these fibers are electrostatically aligned and bonded to the swab shaft, creating a velvety layer that increases the contact surface area. This design allows for almost complete elution of samples, enhancing sensitivity and efficiency.

Product Variants and Ordering Information
Both PurFlock® and HydraFlock® swabs are available in various bud and shaft types to suit different applications. They can be ordered in Peel Pouch or Labelled Tube formats. The catalog numbers and specifications for each variant are provided for easy ordering.

Conclusion
PurFlock® and HydraFlock® offer significant improvements in specimen collection technology, providing enhanced contact, absorption, and elution capabilities. These products are available exclusively from MWE in the UK and Ireland.

Dramatic increase of contact surface area. Advanced Swab Technology Multilength composite filaments for enhanced contact with regular and irregular surfaces. PurFlock® and HydraFlock® are novel composite fibres which are transforming the process of acquiring and testing samples from surfaces for disciplines such as microbiology and forensic science. PurFlock® and HydraFlock® fibres take this onto a new level. These are tiny multifilament polyester fibres which are aligned electrostatically and bonded onto the moulded shaped surface of the end of the swab shaft. This produces a fine velvety layer...
