【INSTRUCTIONS】
1. Mark the sample information on the tube.
2. According to different sampling requirements, use a sampling swab to sample at the corresponding area.
Hold the handle to gently insert the sampling swab into the sampling site, gently rotate the swab 3-5
times and slowly take out.
3. Put the extracted sample into the sampling tube, break the swab at the breaking point and leave the
swab head in the tube. Tighten the tube cap to complete the sampling.
4. Freshly collected clinical specimens should be transported to the laboratory within 48 hours at 4 ° C.
Those that cannot be sent to the laboratory within 48 hours should be stored at -20 ° C or below.
5. The conventional sampling methods are as follows: Nasal swab: Insert the head of the swab gently
into the nasopalatine part of the nasal canal, stop for a while, and then slowly rotate it out. Repeat to
other nostril with a new swab. Once specimen is collected, immerse the head of the swab into the
sampling solution, and discard the tail. Oropharyngeal swab: Use a swab to wipe the bilateral
pharyngeal tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall. Immerse the swab head in the sample solution and
discard the tail. Mouthwash: Gargle in the mouth with 10ml of normal saline. Let the patient's head
tilt back slightly and make an "Oh" sound. Let the saline rotate in the pharynx then collect the wash
with an empty 50ml sampling tube. Nasal wash: While seated, the patient tilts their head slightly back
and is injected with 50 ml of normal saline into one nostril with a pipette. Collector instructs the patient
to simultaneously sound “K” to close the pharyngeal cavity. The patient then bows their head to let the
saline flow out as the fluid is collected with an empty 50 ml sterilized tube. Repeat this process to wash
the other nostril. Nasopharyngeal extract: Tracheal and bronchial secretions are often collected using
this method. Mucus is drawn from the nasopharynx with a collector connected to a negative pressure
pump. First insert the collector head into the nasal cavity, turn on the negative pressure, rotate the
collector's head, and slowly push it out. Collect and draw the mucus, and rinse the collector three times
with 5 ml of the sampling solution. Autopsy tissue specimens: Collect autopsy tissue specimens if
necessary, to separate sample components. The specimen is autopsy tissue. Samples of mycoplasma,
chlamydia, urea plasma: for males, inserts the sterilized swab into the urethra about 2cm, rotate, and
take out. Let the material rest for several seconds. For females, wipe out the cervical mucus and inserts
the sterilized swab into the cervical canal 1cm-2cm to take out material.
