How To Use Oropharyngeal/Oral Swab

Application: It is mainly used for the inspection of microbial samples collected from the lining of the mouth, throat, and oropharynx.

1. Have the subject hold his head up and open his mouth, and you can insert the flocked swab into his oropharynx.
2. The oropharyngeal flocking swab is taken through the tongue to the posterior laryngeal wall, tonsil crypt, and sidewalls of the tonsils.
3. Repeatedly wipe 3~5 times to collect mucosal cells.
4. Take the flocked swab out of the mouth slowly, put it into the sampling tube vertically, break off the tail of the flocking oropharyngeal swab, and tighten the sampling tube to avoid leakage.
5. Send it to the laboratory for inspection as soon as possible.
