Although mid-turbinate sampling is an alternative, it has a lower diagnostic yield than NP sampling. Nasal wash (NW) has a similar diagnostic yield to NP sampling, but is cumbersome to perform. In this study, we introduce a 3D printed fluidic swab (3DPFS) that enables easy NW sampling for COVID-19 testing with improved diagnostic yield. The 3DPFS comprises a swab head, microchannel, and socket that can be connected to a syringe containing 250 µL of NW solution. 2023-09-18T02:05:08Z 2023-09-18T02:05:08Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40580-023-00393-3 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9055 en application/pdf Springer
