Thermo Scientific™ PrimeStore Molecular Transport Medium

Non-hazardous, inactivation media for viral collection and transport with Inactivation media for nucleic acid testing and molecular diagnostics.

Brand:  Thermo Scientific™ R13905

Product Code. 17808377

Description

Stabilize, inactivate and transport infectious unprocessed nasal washes, nasopharyngeal, oral / throat swabs suspected of containing influenza A virus RNA with Longhorn PrimeStore Molecular Transport Medium™ (PS-MTM).

PrimeStore Molecular Transport Medium™ is also intended for the stabilization, transportation, and inactivation of infectious unprocessed sputum samples suspected of containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA from human samples.

Specimen collection and transport is a key component in the molecular detection of influenza A and MTB. PS-MTM is a self-contained, ‘ready-to-use’ system that allows for the stabilization and safe transport of clinical samples at ambient temperature from the collection site to the laboratory.
