ABSTRACT
In many parts of the world, the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) has rapidly shifted to molecular detection and sequencing formats. The collection and transport of Mycobacterium tuberculosis specimens thus remains a challenging problem where TB is common and the infrastructure required for ensuring sample integrity is lacking. PrimeStore(®) Molecular Transport Medium (MTM) addresses this problem, rapidly inactivating/killing M. tuberculosis while preserving genomic DNA even at elevated temperatures for subsequent downstream molecular analysis.
