Transport Medium for Swabs R12-Resp DataSheet

INTENDED USE

Transport Medium for Swabs (R12) is a reagent intended for transportation and storage of swabs and discharges collected from the urogenital tract, throat, rectum, and erosive-ulcerative lesions of human skin and mucous membranes for subsequent analysis of the material for STIs and other reproductive tract infections by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA).

Transport Medium for Storage and Transportation of Respiratory Swabs (R12-Stab) is a reagent intended for taking, transportation, and storage of upper respiratory tract swabs.

PRINCIPLE

Transport Medium is a phosphate buffer solution supplemented with preservative and cryopreservative agents. The salt composition and pH of the medium prevent premature lysis of cell in swabs, the preservative agent prevents the growth of foreign microflora, and the cryopreservative agent stabilizes microorganisms during freeze–thaw transitions.
