Chain of Custody Control
Unique, matching barcode labels are provided on each collector to label the IFP Collector and any other documentation for effective Chain of Custody.
Efficient Collection
The integrated desiccants eliminate the need to air dry samples. Immediately after collection, the swab can be inserted into the protective tube where the sample will dry. The sample can immediately be transported to the lab.
N4>Drying in Less than 5 Hours
Fully saturated IFP Collectors dry samples in less than 5 hours. 150uL of water was added the IFP Collector swab to fully saturate the collector. Swabs were then sealed reweighed to determine how much of the sample had dried. The data is shown below.
