Great photos/videos and as a nurse I was highly suspicious when I read the directions of the test requiring swabs to be pushed up to the nasopharyngeal area farther than any other test such as the rapid flu test.

You mentioned that you agitated the swab in the buffer solution first but usually the swab is dry when inserted into the nose. While these images may be mostly from the swab it might be good to see the images of the swab interacting with normal human mucus as it would if put deeply up the nose.
