| Product Name | Specimen Transport Medium, Non-Viral, for Microbiology |
| Catalog No. | ATRD-0014 |
| Description | A non-nutritive balanced salt transport medium for the collection and preservation of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic specimens during transit from collection site to diagnostic microbiology laboratory. |
| Intended Use | Collection and transport of wound swabs, throat swabs, stool specimens, and other microbiology samples while maintaining organism viability without promoting overgrowth during transit. |
| Principle / Technology | Balanced salts maintain osmotic balance; charcoal or agar semi-solid format neutralizes inhibitory substances; minimal nutrients prevent overgrowth while preserving viability of target organisms. |
| Detection Method | Viability plating pre and post 24-hour transport simulation at ambient temperature |
| Sample Type | Wound swabs, throat swabs, rectal swabs, stool, sputum, genital specimens |
| Performance Range / Specifications | Organism recovery >90% after 24 hours at 20–25°C |
| Sensitivity / LOD | N/A |
| Specificity | Supports aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacterial viability |
| Reaction Conditions / Protocol | Place swab into medium; break shaft; cap tightly; transport within 24 hours at ambient temperature. |
| Components / Formulation | Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium thioglycolate, agar, charcoal, purified water |
| Storage Conditions | 15–30°C |
| Shelf Life | 18 months |
| Package Specifications | 50 tubes (5 mL each), 100 tubes |
| Product Form | Semi-solid gel in screw-cap tube with swab |
| Quality Control | Organism viability testing with ATCC reference strains, sterility, pH |
| Key Features | Charcoal formulation neutralizes inhibitors; semi-solid gel protects organisms; validated for aerobic and anaerobic transport |
For research use only, not for clinical use.
