Description
Cary-Blair Transport Medium (5mL) for Safe Specimen Transport
The Cary-Blair Transport Medium (5mL) is a reliable and sterile solution designed specifically for the safe collection, preservation, and transport of enteric pathogen specimens. Packaged in durable, leak-proof plastic tubes, this medium ensures optimal sample viability during transit to laboratory facilities. With a shelf life of three years, this product offers exceptional longevity and consistent performance for clinical and laboratory use.
Features and Benefits
- Sterile and Leak-Proof Packaging
Each Cary-Blair transport medium tube is individually packaged in a plastic container, ensuring sterility and eliminating the risk of contamination or leaks. This independent packaging safeguards the integrity of specimens during transport and handling. - Enhanced Sample Preservation
The Cary-Blair transport medium contains key components, including thioglycolate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, and agar. These ingredients are carefully selected to maintain a stable environment that protects bacterial viability and reduces oxidation-reduction potential while stabilizing pH at 8.4 ± 0.1. - Ready-to-Use Convenience
The pre-filled 5mL tubes eliminate the need for preparation, allowing for seamless integration into clinical workflows. Users can easily collect and transport samples without additional equipment or procedures. - Ideal for Enteric Pathogens
This medium is specifically designed for intestinal pathogen samples, ensuring that essential diagnostic integrity is maintained during transport. Proper pH stability and effective preservation prevent sample degradation and enhance testing accuracy. - Long Shelf Life
With a three-year shelf life under proper storage conditions (5–25°C, humidity ≤80%), the Cary-Blair transport medium offers an economical and reliable option for long-term clinical use. Once opened, the medium remains effective for up to one year when properly sealed and stored.
