Why a Snappable Stick Matters
The polystyrene stick is designed to snap cleanly at a marked point after sample collection, letting the swab tip be sealed directly into a collection or transport tube without the technician's hand touching the tip end — a standard feature for maintaining sample integrity in laboratory and clinical-adjacent sampling work. Pair with a suitable transport tube for the specific sampling protocol in use.
