MycoTB™

Processing device for mycobacteria detection

 

With MycoTB™ you can take care of all the steps needed for mycobacteria detection in respiratory tract and extra-pulmonary specimens – fluidization, decontamination, concentration – with a safe, easy, and ready-to-use kit.

 

Processing

Get to the point in less than 15 minutes

You just need 3 to 10 minutes of incubation at RT to fluidify and decontaminate the sample. A 5-minute centrifuge, supernatant removal, and resuspension will get your sample ready for solid or liquid culture or molecular assay.

Components

An all-in-one kit

Each step of the sample preparation phase is easier, safer, and faster, thanks to the single use kit, pre-measured reagents and tubes requiring no further in-lab preparations.
MycoTB™ is your optimal solution to reduce contamination risks during the handling phase, in-house preparation costs, and reagent waste.

Key features
