When sample collection and transport are
required, diagnostic test efficacy depends on appropriate
initial collection of bodily fluid samples. Samples typically
analyzed include blood, saliva, urine, sweat, plasma, tears and
feces. High purity cellulose materials from Whatman enable
accurate, reliable collection of the full range of sample types.
Features and Benefits
- Minimal sample interference.
High-purity raw materials are used in the manufacturing
process.
- Expansive collection capabilities.
Wide range of absorbencies can accommodate varying sample
types.
- Easy sample transportation.
Samples can be dried onto the material for subsequent
rehydration.
Product Range and Properties
