Non-invasive

Alternative to blood draw

hDNAFLOQSwabs® collect painless samples when compared to blood samples collected using hypodermic needles. The non-invasive collection improves the adoption percentage for genetic screenings, such as HLA typing, food intolerances, and ancestry testing.

Preservation

Pairing with eNAT®

Copan hDNAfreeFLOQSwabs® come in dry format or paired with 1 ml of eNAT® medium for a convenient collection, transportation, and preservation of nucleic acids. eNAT medium directly inactivates bacterial proliferation, reducing sample processing steps.

FLOQ® technology, applied

hDNAfreeFLOQSwabs® brings FLOQSwabs® advantages into the genetics field.

FLOQ® technology

This Swab is empowered by the FLOQ® technology for superior sample adsorption and release.

CE marked, DNAfree medical devices

COPAN’s Human DNAFreeFLOQSwabs® are certified, free of amplifiable Human DNA and free of detectable DNase and RNase, in compliance with the ISO 13485 requirements. The product line includes both sterile and not sterile devices.

High DNA yield

FLOQSwabs® average DNA yield is 3.5 times higher than Rayon swabs. Thanks to the maximized recovery of DNA, your assay sensitivity increases.

20 mm breaking point

The short length breaking point and the 2-1,5 ml vials compatible tip facilitate the laboratory workflow.

Active drying system

The active drying system dries the sample inside the tube, enabling 12 months of DNA stability at room temperature.

Scientific Mentions

Always faithful to our scientific approach, we are eager to hear the proof of the success of our efforts and commitment.

BMC Genomics 2017 – Gerhard Schöfl

DKMS embraced the hDNAFLOQSwabs® collection system to find compatible donors for stem cell tranplantation.

University of Calgary, Alberta Health services – 2019

“DNA extracted from FLOQSwabs® are superior for HLA typing using MIA FORA NGS typing kit.

Aging (Albany NY) 2016 – Monika Eipel

Epigenetic age predictions based on buccal swabs are more precise in combination with cell type‐specific DNA methylation signatures.

Scientific Reports 2018 – Christiane Theda

We recommend that buccal swab sampling should be the method of choice to reduce cellular heterogeneity for downstream studies.
