Clinical Lab FLOQ® The FLOQ® technology answers the healthcare professionals’ need for a more efficient sample collection. The FLOQ® patented arrangement of Nylon® fibers offers superior performance, bringing sampling to the next level. The conception How it changed preanalytics Copan’s former CEO, Daniele Triva, conceived the FLOQ® technology after looking at the flocked surface of some clothes hangers. What a breakthrough moment! In 2003 – shortly after this stroke of genius – we released the first swab using the FLOQ® technology, revolutionizing the preanalytical world. Superior performance Preanalytics turning point The main feature of our patented FLOQ® technology is the application of short perpendicular Nylon® fibers to the swab tip. Unlike other swab technologies, this ensures a quick, capillarity-driven sample uptake and thanks to the absence of a disorganized fiber structure trapping the sample, an efficient elution of the biological specimen. The flocked mark Follow the FLOQ®! This flocked circle identifies all the products where our patented FLOQ® technology is used – for example, all the transport media that can be paired with FLOQSwabs®! Look for the mark in all our printed material and online content! Better sampling for spotless diagnostics Many are the reasons why our FLOQ® technology has become the gold standard for biological sampling. FLOQSwabs® Optimal adsorption and release FLOQ® thin absorbent layers allows rapid adsorption and ensures a fast and complete sample elution. Versatile The FLOQ® technology is flexible, compatible with many sample types and downstream assays, while also being adaptable to countless fields of application. Impeccable Start with a proper collected sample and end with the most accurate results! From FLOQ® to WASP™ The FLOQ® technology introduced the Liquid-Based Microbiology™ concept, opening the possibility to automate sample processing.
