Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PurFlock Ultra and standard flock swabs?
PurFlock Ultra uses HydraFlock® technology — a multi-length polyester bicomponent fiber flock structure that creates a more complex microstructure than standard single-length flock. This provides superior rapid absorption of biological specimens and faster, more complete release during elution compared to conventional flock swabs, improving specimen yield in diagnostic applications.
Is the 25-3320-U sterile?
The 25-3320-U is non-sterile. If your application requires a sterile swab, Puritan offers sterile versions of the PurFlock Ultra series. Contact MTE Solutions for sterile variant availability.
Does the 25-3320-U have a breakpoint?
No — the 25-3320-U polystyrene handle has no breakpoint. This is the standard configuration for applications where the full handle length is needed. Puritan also offers breakpoint versions for use with collection tubes where the handle must be snapped off after collection.
What applications is the 25-3320-U designed for?
The 25-3320-U is designed primarily for nasopharyngeal specimen collection and diagnostics/IVD applications. The ultrafine tip geometry and HydraFlock fiber structure are optimized for accessing narrow anatomical passages and maximizing specimen collection and release efficiency.
How are the swabs packaged?
The 25-3320-U is supplied 50 individually wrapped swabs per box, 10 boxes per case (500 swabs total per case). Individual wrapping maintains swab integrity and cleanliness prior to use.
