The Remel™ PrimeStore™ Molecular Transport Medium (PS-MTM) is an innovative, self-contained transport and stabilization system designed for safe, ambient-temperature collection, inactivation, and preservation of infectious clinical specimens. It enables accurate molecular detection of pathogens such as influenza A virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by stabilizing RNA and DNA immediately upon sample collection.
Distributed globally by Thermo Fisher Scientific, this medium eliminates the need for cold-chain transport, enhancing biosafety and workflow efficiency in diagnostic, research, and public health laboratories.
Key Features
- Dual Pathogen Stabilization – Effectively stabilizes influenza A virus RNA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA in unprocessed clinical samples.
- Safe Sample Handling – Inactivates infectious agents upon contact, ensuring operator safety and reducing biohazard risk during transport.
- Room Temperature Stability – Maintains nucleic acid integrity for up to 24 months without refrigeration (2°C to 25°C).
- Compatible with Leading Extraction Kits – Validated with both manual spin column and automated magnetic bead extraction systems, including PrimeXtract™, RNAqueous™ Micro Kit, QIAamp® DNA Mini Kit, NucliSENS® EasyMAG®, and MagNA Pure 96.
- Ready-to-Use Format – Supplied in pre-filled, sterile tubes (various volumes) suitable for immediate specimen collection.
- Flexible Sample Support – Accommodates nasal washes, nasopharyngeal and oral/throat swabs, as well as sputum samples.
Applications
- Molecular detection of influenza A virus from respiratory samples
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA stabilization and transport
- Biosafe collection and transport of potentially infectious clinical materials
- Public health surveillance, epidemiological studies, and diagnostic research
- Laboratory workflows in virology, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics
