Alpha® Sampling Swab (Cleaning Validation Series)

Polyester knit sampling swabs for high-recovery cleaning validation.

Alpha® Sampling Swabs are designed for surface sampling and residue recovery during cleaning validation, especially when using HPLC, UV-Vis, IMS, or other specific analytical methods. Built from the cleanest 100% continuous-filament polyester knit, Alpha swabs deliver low particles, low fibers, and low extractables (NVR) so the swab doesn’t interfere with your results.

These swabs use fully thermal-bonded construction (no adhesives) to eliminate glue-based contamination, and they’re precision manufactured on automated equipment for consistent head shape and repeatable sample pickup from batch to batch. Alpha sampling swabs are packaged cleanroom-ready (silicone-free, amide-free, lot-coded for traceability) and are widely used across pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and regulated manufacturing to verify that cleaning procedures meet FDA-driven validation requirements.

Select Alpha® Sampling Swabs below when your SOP requires reliable recovery, low background contamination, and consistent sampling performance for validated cleaning protocols.
