Flocked Nasopharyngeal Swab – Minitip, 80 mm Breakpoint

This flocked nasopharyngeal swab pairs a slender flexible distal shaft with a compact minitip and a nominal 80 mm breakpoint. It is intended for validated nasopharyngeal collection workflows that require a narrow collection profile and an extended break-off segment.

Product Highlights

• Slim minitip profile for narrow-access collection requirements.
• Flexible distal shaft supports controlled insertion and rotation.
• Nominal 80 mm breakpoint provides an extended break-off segment.
• Dense low-pile flocking is distinct from wound cotton or spun-fiber tips.

Structure and Materials

Typical Applications

• Nasopharyngeal or other narrow-access collection workflows, when validated
• Transfer into a compatible transport tube
• Diagnostic and laboratory collection kits

Important: The customer is responsible for validating the complete collection, transport and downstream test workflow.

Technical Specifications

Selection Guide

Choose the minitip model when the collection site and validated method require a smaller tip than the regular 80 mm configuration. Confirm length, tube fit and sterilization data for the selected SKU.

Ordering Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tip ordinary cotton?

No. The collection head is nylon flocking bonded to a molded core; it is not a wound cotton bud.

What does the breakpoint measurement mean?

It is the nominal distance from the collection tip to the molded snap point. Confirm tolerance and tube fit for the selected SKU.

Can this swab be used for any specimen type?

No. The collection site, technique, tube and downstream method must be validated together.

Is a transport tube included?

Tube and pack options are configuration dependent. Puretest will confirm the quoted supply format.

How do I choose regular tip versus minitip?

Use the validated collection method and anatomical access requirement; a minitip has a smaller profile than a regular tip.

Is the product sterile?

Sterile configurations may be available, but the method and documentation must be confirmed for the exact SKU.

Can packaging be customized?

OEM labeling and pack formats can be discussed after the technical configuration is fixed.

What information should I send for a quotation?

Provide tip geometry, breakpoint, total length, tube requirement, sterility, pack quantity and expected order volume.
