PrimeStore™ MTM 12 mL Tube with 2 mL Molecular Transport Media

Description

Ideal for pathogen inactivation, RNA/DNA stabilization, and for use on high throughput platforms. Up to 10 swabs can be placed into a single tube for sample pooling.

• PrimeStore™ MTM is FDA Cleared (cleared in 2018) Molecular Transport Medium for respiratory samples suspected of harboring influenza or TB.
• PrimeStore™ collected samples enable safe handling for both point of care and in the laboratory - since the entire sample in inactivated/killed including SARS-CoV-2 and more resilient microbes like gram positives, etc.
• Once a swab or biofluid is added to PrimeStore™ the user has a 'snapshot in time for that sample.

• Samples do not have to be pre-processed in BSL-III or even BSL-II safety levels.
• Safe or normal technician testing.

• PrimeStore™ MTM was designed to be compatible with Qiagen-based extraction systems (bench top and high throughput liquid handling systems).
