OMNIgene®•SPUTUM is a non-toxic and highly stable reagent that liquefies and decontaminates sputum samples at the point-of-collection or in the lab while preserving MTb viability for at least 8 days at ambient temperatures. Optimized samples are compatible with all routine TB tests, enable cost-effective sample transport and simplify laboratory workflows while eliminating the need for NaOH/NALC.
Key features:
Stabilize, liquefy and decontaminate samples at point-of-collection
Optimize samples for all diagnostic algorithms
Eliminate NaOH/NALC to simplify workflows
Minimize contamination and cross-contamination
