GrooveSwab Unflocked Nasopharyngeal Swab

Trust in the GrooveSwab™ Nasopharyngeal Swab for more comfort, convenience, and concentration compared to antiquated swabs. The Rhinostics GrooveSwab Nasopharyngeal Swab is fully molded from polypropylene to bypass traditional swab supply chains. This soft material, and a unique stacked ring structured head, provides the utmost in patient comfort while providing sufficient sample amounts. A notched breakaway snap point facilitates insertion into most transport tube configurations. Dry shipment means that viral transport media (VTM) is not necessary so that labs can save on reagent costs, eliminate risks of leaking or liquid biohazard contact, and bypass time-consuming concentration steps. Unlike antiquated flocked or wound fiber swabs that retain sample upon elution, the hydrophobic nature of this swab ensures rapid and full sample elution. In fact, the GrooveSwab provides up to 30X sample concentration versus other swabs transported in VTM. Ideal for any nasopharyngeal sampling needs, including respiratory panels, COVID-19, and other respiratory pathogen tests. Soft polypropylene stacked-ring collection head is designed for comfortable sample collection from nasopharyngeal passages with high collection capacity. Dry transport reduces reagent costs, eliminates risks of liquid spills and contamination, and also eliminates the need for concentration steps. Lack of VTM and hydrophobic materials enable complete sample elution, up to 30x more concentrated versus other swabs. Convenient snap-point located three inches from swab head facilitates compatibility with a wide variety of transport tubes. Packaged individually and sterilized.
