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
Innomed'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.
Optimal Adsorption and Release
The FLOQ® technology introduced the Liquid-Based Microbiology™ concept, opening the possibility to automate sample processing.
From FLOQ® to WASP™
Start with a proper collected sample and end with the most accurate results!
Glass Beads
Three glass beads in each tube facilitate the release and dispersion of patient material and virus particles from the swab during vortexing.
Different Screw Cap Formats
Available with a capture-cap to dock and lock the swab shaft for easier tube handling, or with a Pierce-able and Re-sealable PNR™ cap under development.
