iSpecimen’s Swab Sample Offerings:
Remnant swabs
iSpecimen is capable of sourcing clinical remnant swabs with their respective test results immediately by tapping into our providers’ banked inventory. We also have experience utilizing curators, giving us another access point to remnant swabs.
Custom collections
When you cannot find what you need using a clinical remnant or banked swab, iSpecimen can customize a swab collection for your research, collaborating with you at every step to determine both the feasibility of the order and a realistic project timeline to match.
Customizable datasets
Not only can we provide the positive, negative, inconclusive result information with each diagnostic swab, but iSpecimen can also source samples that have been tested on highly-specific medical instruments if such information is needed for your research.
