Description
EnvisionTEC engineers have designed a 3D printed collection tip for a flexible nasal swab that has completed testing in an IRB-approved clinical trial for use in this unprecedented time. In order to be given this approval, a rigorous, multi-phase testing procedure was required. This testing of both the design and the material included several rigorous mechanical and chemical tests. This was done to ensure that the swabs pick up viral RNA particles and do not interfere with PCR/reagents, that they are chemically safe, that they would bend 180 degrees without breaking, and that the design would be able to safely collect enough viral particles from the nasal passage to effectively test.
