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.
