Human sample used / Claims of the kit<br />

<strong>Mycoplasma</strong>/<strong>Chlamydophila</strong> <strong>pneumoniae</strong> Real Time PCR kit is dedicated at the detection of<br />

the <strong>Mycoplasma</strong> <strong>pneumoniae</strong> and <strong>Chlamydophila</strong> <strong>pneumoniae</strong> in bronchoalveolar lavage,<br />

sputum and nasopharyngeal swabs/washes samples.<br />

The kit is used on samples from potentially infected patients by <strong>Mycoplasma</strong> <strong>pneumoniae</strong><br />

and/or <strong>Chlamydophila</strong> <strong>pneumoniae</strong>.<br />

Human samples’ Collection, Storage and Transport<br />

I. Samples’ Collection<br />

Human respiratory samples such as bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum and nasopharyngeal<br />

swabs/washes should be collected.<br />

II. Samples’ Storage<br />

Human sample must be stored at 4°C for up to 24 hours or frozen at -20°C or -80°C for longer<br />

periods of time.<br />

Human samples should be stored in DNase/RNAse free polypropylene tubes. The sensitivity<br />

of the PCR could be reduced if you keep freezing and thawing human samples repeatedly.<br />

Avoid freeze / thaw cycles, which will affect the sensitivity of the assay.<br />

III. Samples’ transport<br />

Human samples must be transported in adapted containers. The samples must be transported<br />

following the local and national regulations for the transport of pathogen material.<br />

Human samples should be transported at -20°C.<br />
