Rhinostics ELEstic/ELEbot Platform

Rhinostics, a Waltham, Massachusetts-based sample collection technology company, has launched the ELEstic swab collection device and ELEbot decapper. ELEstic includes a high-performance swab attached to a cap that screws into a 75-mm by 13-mm tube, the diagnostic industry standard that fits into most of the larger closed molecular testing platforms, Rhinostics said. The ELEbot decapper provides 24-tube automated decapping of swab samples that can be placed upstream of these molecular testing platforms for sample elution and decapping prior to transferring the sample directly into the diagnostics testing system.
