At OPT, we push the boundaries of medical diagnostics with our innovative technologies. Our flagship product, InstaSwab™, represents a leap forward in fluid sampling, designed to deliver unparalleled accuracy and performance. Engineered with a patented, computationally-optimized micro mesh and variable tip sizes, InstaSwab™ offers exceptional fluid collection and transfer capabilities, setting new standards in diagnostic efficiency.

Instaswab is an absorbent fluid sampling swab with variable tip size and shape. The patented swab is digitally manufactured with a computationally-optimized micro mesh arrangement of superior performance. InstaSwab features a full range of custom design options.

The porous microstructure of the bulb is tuned to collect and retain fluids while allowing a quick release of the sample into a vial. The strong capillary hydraulics between the swab's fibers increases fluid sample uptake and rapid release of the specimen. Lab results show that InstaSwab™ has a higher liquid/solid separation rate than conventional cotton swabs, and a higher viral or microbial transfer efficiency than market-leading flocked swabs.

A preliminary study of the OPT InstaSwab™ showed significantly improved collection and elution efficiency as compared to both the flocked swabs and traditional polyester swabs. The enhanced efficiency of InstaSwab™ has shown the potential to increase the detection limit and sensitivity of molecular assays up to an order of magnitude. Therefore, our customers benefit from an improvement in assay performance and a reduction in false negatives.
