Human sample used / Claims of the kit<br />
<strong>Mycobacterium</strong> tuberculosis Real-Time PCR kit is dedicated at the detection of the <strong>Mycobacterium</strong><br />
tuberculosis in bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum samples.<br />
The kit is used on samples from potentially infected patients by <strong>Mycobacterium</strong> tuberculosis.<br />
Human samples’ Collection, Storage and Transport<br />
I. Samples’ Collection<br />
Human respiratory samples such as bronchoalveolar lavage, sputum 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 respiratory samples must be transported in adapted containers. The samples must<br />
be transported following the local and national regulations for the transport of pathogen<br />
material.<br />
Human samples should be transported at -20°C.<br />
