Self Collection

Self-Collection Swabs and Devices are specially designed to support patients in collecting their own clinical specimens safely, simply and effectively for microbiological and molecular diagnostic testing.

Developed using Copan’s FLOQSwab® technology, these swabs are designed to provide efficient specimen collection and release while supporting a straightforward and comfortable self-sampling experience. Their specialised designs help patients collect their own specimens without the need for direct assistance from a healthcare professional, supporting more accessible and flexible testing pathways.

Self-Collection Swabs and Devices are available in configurations developed for vaginal, rectal skin, buccal, and saliva specimen collection and are compatible with appropriate transport and preservation media for subsequent laboratory analysis. They can support a range of diagnostic workflows while helping simplify specimen collection outside of traditional clinical settings.
