- Used alongside point-of-care rapid testing kits, such as the OSOM® BVBLUE® Test
Uses
- Sample Stabilization:
- Safely collects and holds vaginal fluid specimens while keeping target enzymes stable during handling
- Point-of-Care Transport:
- Moves collected patient swabs safely from the examination room to the clinic's testing area or a benchtop workstation without sample decay
- Enzymatic Diagnostics Pairing:
- Specifically works alongside diagnostic kits like the OSOM® BVBLUE® Test to identify sialidase activity from bacterial strains like Gardnerella, Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Mobiluncus
Features
- Complete Transport Setup:
- Packaged as pre-filled, individual transport tubes to minimize mess and reduce step-by-step preparation time
- Sterile Cotton Swabs Included:
- Ships with medical-grade, sterile collection cotton swabs optimized to absorb an exact patient fluid sample volume
- Chemical Compatibility:
- Built with tube plastics and elution materials that will not alter or degrade delicate microbial enzymes
- Bulk Case Quantities:
- Sold as large distribution setups—typically 50 tubes/swabs per box, with 10 boxes per case (500 units total) to fit standard high-volume clinical ordering cycles
- Ambient Shelf Stability:
- Keeps tests functionally stable at standard room temperature, eliminating the need for delicate cold storage equipment in clinical spaces
Benefits
- Maintains Sample Integrity:
- Safely preserves the patient specimen to prevent false negatives from early degradation or external contamination
- Simplifies Staff Workflow:
- Pre-measured transport tubes eliminate manual steps, cutting down on preparation errors and freeing up laboratory personnel
- Fast Clinical Turnaround:
- Fits smoothly into rapid clinical pathways, enabling facilities to provide objective, clear patient results in 10 minutes or less during a single visit
- Cost-Effective Sourcing:
Bulk case packaging lowers per-unit shipping costs and keeps inventory predictable across large healthcare urgent care systems and women's health clinics
