INTENDED USE the collection and transport of clinical specimens containing viruses, Chlamydiae, Mycoplasmas or Ureaplasmas from the collection site to the testing laboratory.CTM kit can be processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures. It is available in single tube or in kit format associated to traditional swab. PRINCIPLE It is an ideal procedure for diagnosing infections caused by Virus, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma, for sampling and safe transport of biological samples. It contains universal ingredients to maintain the viability of organisms including clinically important Virus, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, or Ureaplasma.It contains proteins to stabilize the medium and antibiotics to minimize contamination of bacteria and fungi. KEY FEATURES can be processed using standard clinical laboratory operating procedures for viral, chlamydial, mycoplasma and ureaplasma culture. includes one labeled plastic screw-cap tube of CTM medium design with conical bottom containing transport medium (3ml) The user should fully understand and use the usage method. The Nasopharyngeal Swab samples are the preferred specimens for respiratory virus rapid antigen and Real Time PCR testing. The Nasopharyngeal Swab has a white plastic shaft, with 3 different thicknesses, ending in a flock tip. The Oropharyngeal Swab is used to collect oral epithelial cells and includes the Buccal Swab DNA Preservation & Transport Kit. The Oropharyngeal Swab contains nucleic acid preservation medium for stable storage at room temperature, and the Self-Drying Oropharyngeal Swab Kit for stable storage at room temperature in the storage tube.
