4N6FLOQSwabs represent a breakthrough to guarantee that even smallest amounts of DNA can be collected and remain available for testing. Targets range from epithelial cells, saliva, sweat and blood to environmental samples. The swabs can be used in a broad variety of applications. 4N6FLOQSwabs are available in three formats. Peelpouch: 4N6FLOQSwabs with molded breakpoint are packaged individually in a convenient peelpouch. Dry tube: The plastic tube guarantees swab integrity and avoids the risk of sample contamination during transport. Tube with active drying system: This system ensures sample drying in the tube preventing microbial growth. Common features of 4N6FLOQSwabs include the unique fiber tip and a pre-molded breakpoint on the solid plastic applicator shaft compatible with standard tubes and cuvettes.
