How to choose a flocked swab

A flocked swab has short fibers bonded to the tip in a soft brush, with no absorbent core to trap the sample. All flocked swabs here are made by Puritan in two lines, HydraFlock and PurFlock Ultra. Most are sterile; a few non-sterile bulk packs are listed too. Choose the line, then the tip, then whether you need a transport tube.

HydraFlock or PurFlock Ultra

Line	What Puritan says	Tips	Packs
HydraFlock	Higher absorption capacity; multi-length fibers for rapid absorption and quick release	Regular, large, elongated, mini, ultrafine, micro ultrafine, crown	50 or 100 per box, 500 per case; several by the case only
PurFlock Ultra	Absorption and elution when high absorbency isn't needed; listed for rapid diagnostic tests, buccal cell, DNA and forensic collection	Regular, large, elongated, mini, ultrafine, micro ultrafine, crown (6 in. and 3 in.)	50 or 100 per box, 500 per case; one 1,000-per-case pack

Tip sizes

Tip	Tip diameter	Notes
Mini	0.135 in.	Smaller openings; HydraFlock mini also with an 80 mm break point
Ultrafine and micro ultrafine	0.14 in.	Options with no break point or an 80 mm break point
Crown	0.180 in.	PurFlock Ultra crown also in a 3 in. length
Regular	0.2 in.	Also in dry transport tubes
Large	0.212 in.	Also in dry transport tubes
Elongated	0.219 in.	Break points of 20, 30 or 100 mm, or none

Transport tubes, DNA grade and bulk

Transport tubes: regular, large, elongated, mini and ultrafine flocked swabs come in their own dry transport tube. All tube options are on dry transport swabs; for swabs packed with medium, see media transport systems.

DNA-controlled: the PurFlock Ultra DNA-controlled forensic swab is made for evidence collection. See all forensic swabs.

Non-sterile bulk: PurFlock Ultra large tip (100 per box), PurFlock Ultra micro ultrafine (1,000 per case) and HydraFlock mini tip (1,000 per case).

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 main tip shapes.

How is a flocked swab different from a polyester (Dacron) swab?

Dacron is a brand of polyester. A spun polyester swab has fibers wound into a dense tip that can hold part of the sample inside. A flocked swab has short fibers standing out from the tip with no absorbent core, so the sample stays near the surface. Your test protocol decides which one you need; sterile polyester options are on polyester medical swabs.
