- Specialized, purpose-built extraction tubes designed exclusively for collecting, transporting, and preparing fecal specimens to be used with the OSOM® iFOB Test system
Uses
- Specimen Collection:
- Serves as the primary patient-facing collection tool to harvest a clean stool sample for immunochemical fecal occult blood testing (iFOBT / FIT)
- Antigen Preservation:
- Holds and stabilizes the gathered specimen in preparation for laboratory colorectal cancer or gastrointestinal disorder screenings
- System Refilling:
- Deployed as a dedicated refill kit for point-of-care clinics, reference labs, and hospitals running low on sample containers before exhausting their test cassette inventory
Features
- Stabilizing Buffer Solution:
- Prefilled with a specific preservation fluid designed to shield human hemoglobin (hHb) from degradation during transport
- Integrated Screw-Cap Sampling Device:
- Features a specialized screw cap equipped with an attached sampling wand to simplify precise stool extraction
- Hygienic Three-Step Design:
- Engineered with a sealed, leak-proof, and latex-free tube architecture to eliminate clinical exposure and minimize spill risks
- Bulk Supply Configuration:
- Distributed as a dedicated accessory kit containing 25 individual collection tubes per box
Benefits
- No Patient Restrictions:
- Enables immediate sample collection because the buffer and test format require no pre-test dietary modifications (such as avoiding red meat) or drug restrictions
- Enhanced Sample Integrity:
- The pre-measured buffer ensures the correct dilution ratio every time, safeguarding against invalid test results or sample spoilage during shipping
- Improved Lab Safety:
- Prevents cross-contamination and technician exposure to raw biological matter due to the completely closed, screw-locked tube format
- Workflow Continuity:
- Provides a cost-effective way to restock collection supplies independently without forcing healthcare facilities to re-purchase full, expensive diagnostic cassette kits
