Frequently asked questions
Does this system maintain specimen integrity effectively?
Yes, it is designed for analytical integrity specifically for sensitive samples like viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and ureaplasma. The system maintains an anaerobic environment to ensure your specimens remain stable during transport.
How do I know if the environment remains sterile?
The medium includes a built-in color indicator; if the anaerobic environment has been compromised, the medium will shift to a lavender color, allowing for immediate quality control.
Can I inject fluids without opening the tube?
Yes, the red cap features a pierceable stopper. This allows you to inject fluids into the tube without needing to remove the cap, which helps keep the internal anaerobic environment intact.
Are the swabs easy to fit inside the tube?
Yes, the swabs feature a scored design. This allows them to break cleanly at the perfect length, ensuring they fit securely and precisely within the tube after the sample is collected.
Is the swab tip material safe for sensitive samples?
Yes, the swab tips are made of inert, nontoxic rayon/Dacron. This material is selected specifically to be compatible with sensitive clinical specimens, ensuring no interference with your analysis.
What is the purpose of the glass beads?
The glass beads serve two important purposes for laboratory processing:
- Increased surface area: They facilitate better cell adhesion.
- Uniform distribution: They help ensure the specimen is spread evenly for more accurate culturing.
How should I store these before they are used?
These systems are designed for convenience and can be stored for up to 1 year at room temperature prior to their use, making them easy to stock in a clinical environment.
Is this a sterile product?
Absolutely. The entire system is gamma radiation sterilized to ensure maximum safety and to prevent contamination from the moment you begin the collection process.
Are these suitable for viral transport?
Yes, this system is optimized for a range of sensitive specimens, including viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and ureaplasma.
How are the tubes labeled for tracking?
Each tube is labeled with clear white adhesive strips that display the specific lot number and the expiration date, supporting reliable record-keeping and quality assurance.
