No. Those are the control swabs used for daily QC (quality Control) of the instrument/analyzer.
Despite the rude language on poal, you'll generally find more gullible people over on reddit
Only because there are more people total on Reddit. Poal noticed this one, but the circlejerk is powerful here.
It says "control swabs." These are for calibrating the PCR.
Others have already answered this but l'll add my voice. These are "controls" for their test. Standard practice is to have control samples ship and be stored with ypur actual samples to test for contamination. These conteol samples have a known result. If the control samples don't display this known result when tested, you know something is bad with your sample batch. An example is if a sample batch gets too warm or sits for too many days and gets degraded.
Control samples are used in every sampling scheme I've ever seen (I've done environmental sampling).
Is this guy for real? Naah,can't be, he is just trolling.
You are a big dummy
"Control Swab" - Don't let the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about stop you from having a strong opinion about it.
I seriously question the average intelligence sometimes.
And 49% of people are below that average, scary thought.
Strong shill replies ITT
Strong retard vibes from someone who has probably never tested a single sample of anything in their life.
Do you understand what a control is?
It's used to measure a real test against.
It has nothing to do with fakery.
