The COVID-19 pandemic created major supply chain disruptions in testing supplies, especially for swabs. In response to these supply issues, Mawi DNA Technologies developed the 100% plastic, injection molded NextSWAB as an efficient alternative to standard nasal and oral swabs. The NextSWAB™ is a comfortable, high performing sterile plastic swab that offers multifunctional use for sample collection without the possibility of contamination from glue or fibers used in flock and cotton swabs. The supply chain line for the NextSWAB™ is reliable and stable to counteract increasing demand for COVID sample collection swabs. Due to the 100% plastic molded construction and USA based manufacturing, supply chain issues will be nonexistent.

• Standard Length: 6 inch length, solid handle
• Two sampling channel swab head, no breaking point, no transport with sample
• 100% medical grade plastic, sterile, lean manufacturing process
• Packaged: sterile, in 1 swab pouch
• Quickly process samples with robotic liquid handling systems and/or any laboratory workflow

High Efficiency Nasal Sample Collection with NextSWAB Molded Plastic Swabs

Product Description

The NextSWAB is a sterile sampling applicator for biological sample collection. It is a non-invasive swab-based sampling applicator intended to be used for sample collection of various sample types including oral and nasal mid-turbinate, and anterior nares. The NextSWAB™ sterile sampling applicator is 6 inches in length, with a unique head design positioned at the distal end. The swab head is designed with two channels separated by a septum that retains the collected nasal and oral material that is then released into the transport media with a gentle shake. The flexible head can fit into crevices with ease and effectiveness. The NextSWAB™ is designed for optimal sample collection and release capabilities and is compatible with many sample transport devices, making it ideal for multiple swab sample pooling in a single device. The NextSWAB™ is ready for use and does not require any preparation for specimen collection. A second sample can be added to the same device creating a more concentrated sample to improve overall reliability of the test. The innovative sampling applicator fully releases its contents into the sample transport media removing the need for the swab to be transported with the sample. A fully concentrated liquid sample can then be quickly processed with robotic liquid handling systems and/or any laboratory workflow. During initial R&D testing, the NextSWAB™’s unique and patent pending head design has shown higher collection efficiency for nasal (mid-turbinate and anterior nares) samples than flocked swabs with extremely minimal user discomfort.
