What Makes HydraFlock Special?

Our HydraFlock flocked swab is differentiated from other flocked swabs on the market by our proprietary flocking process which creates a specialized microstructure whose three dimensions have been shown to demonstrate superior absorption and elution.

Additionally, our HydraFlock flocked swabs have been shown to be the most efficient swab on the market. HydraFlock swabs, created for use with our bacterial transport systems, are designed to be used for the collection and transport of clinically significant bacteria.

HydraFlock swabs may be purchased individually, or as a part of our viral or bacterial transport systems.
