How to choose a dry transport swab

A dry transport swab is a sterile swab sealed in its own tube with no transport medium, so the sample travels to the lab dry. All 34 swabs here are Puritan or Dynarex, 6 or 7 in. overall. Start with the tip material, then check the break point, DNA grade and how many swabs share a tube.

Tip materials compared

Tip	Here	Tip sizes	What the listings say	Packs
HydraFlock (flocked)	8 Puritan swabs	Regular, large, elongated, mini, ultrafine, micro ultrafine	Higher absorption capacity; multi-length fibers for rapid absorption and quick release; no adhesive residue	100 per box, 500 per case; several sold by the case only
PurFlock Ultra (flocked)	7 Puritan swabs, including a DNA-controlled forensic swab	Regular, large, elongated, mini, ultrafine, micro ultrafine	Absorption and elution when high absorbency isn't needed; listed for rapid diagnostic tests, buccal cell, DNA and forensic collection	100 per box, 500 per case
Cotton	9 Puritan, 2 Dynarex	Regular (0.188 or 0.203 in.); one tapered mini tip	USP-grade cotton; DNA-controlled, DNA/RNase-free and Cap-Shure versions	50 or 100 per box, 500 per case; Dynarex 1,000 per case
Rayon	3 Puritan, 2 Dynarex	Regular	Puritan: USP-grade rayon with a cotton-like texture and none of the fatty acids that can inhibit fastidious bacteria; single or twin swabs	100 per box, 500 per case; twin-swab tubes by the case; Dynarex 1,000 per case
Polyester	2 Puritan	Regular (0.203 in.)	Non-absorbent; no fatty acids or latent sugars	Single: 100 per box, 500 per case. Twin: 720 tubes per case
Foam	1 Puritan	Regular	High particle collection capacity; collects and releases cells; listed for buccal and DNA collection	100 per box, 500 per case

Other specs to check

Break point: most flocked swabs have a molded break point 30, 80 or 100 mm from the tip, so you can snap the shaft and leave the tip in the tube. A few HydraFlock swabs and the PurFlock Ultra mini tip have none. Dynarex plastic-shaft swabs also snap to detach the tip.

DNA grade: Puritan DNA-controlled swabs are made in a DNA-controlled and monitored cleanroom. The 25-806 2WC TT FDNA is DNA/RNase-free, certified by an independent lab. More options for evidence work are under forensic swabs.

Swabs per tube: twin-swab tubes (polyester 25-806 2PD TT, rayon 25-806 2PR TT) cover two sampling sites with one tube.

Tube and cap: Puritan tubes are round-bottom polypropylene with a label for collection details. Dynarex LabChoice tubes are round-bottom with a plug cap and label. Cap-Shure swabs use an aerated tip protector instead: it slides along the shaft to cover the tip, holds the tip away from the sides and lets the swab lie flat to air dry.

Dry tube or transport medium?

If the lab asks for a swab in liquid, use a media system instead: Liquid Amies, universal transport medium and Cary-Blair kits are under media transport systems. For bagging tubes on the way to the lab, see specimen transport bags.

Should I choose HydraFlock or PurFlock Ultra?

Puritan lists HydraFlock for higher absorption capacity, with fibers built for rapid absorption and quick release. PurFlock Ultra is described for absorption and elution when that level of absorbency isn't needed, and is listed for rapid diagnostic tests, buccal cell, DNA and forensic collection. Both come in the same tip shapes with dry transport tubes.

How are transport swabs packed for bulk orders?

Most Puritan transport swabs come 100 tubes per box and 500 per case; Cap-Shure and some DNA-controlled swabs are 50 per box. Several flocked swabs are sold by the case only, the 2PD TT and 2PR TT twin-swab tubes come 720 per case, and Dynarex LabChoice swabs come 1,000 per case.
