Anaerobe Systems ATMSP - Anaerobic Transport Medium Surgery Pack, 10 Tubes/Pkg

Supplier: Anaerobe Systems AS914

Anaerobic Transport Medium (ATMSP) is a mineral salt based semi-solid media. Designed as a non-nutritive holding medium, it maintains viability of microorganisms through collection and transport of clinical specimens. This media is prepared, dispensed, and packaged under oxygen-free conditions. Each tube is individually packaged in sterile autoclaveable surgery packs.ATM contains buffered mineral salts in a semi-solid media, with sodium thioglycollate & cysteine added as reducing agents. This medium maintains the viability of most microorganisms without multiplication and allows for dilution of inhibitors present in clinical material, and meets the viability requirements of obligate anaerobes. Tubes have hungate caps (caps containing a rubber septa), which allow for direct injection of clinical specimens, introduction of tissue samples, or stabbing with swabs. Resazurin is added as an indicator of significant oxygen exposure to the media.
