NPC-67® Neutralizing Buffer

Reduce Mycobacteria Loss

After decontamination, specimen pH should be reduced to less than 8.1 to halt the decontamination process, and preserve viable mycobacteria for accurate diagnosis. NPC‑67® Neutralizing Buffer immediately and effectively neutralizes basic decontamination reagents, and is specifically designed to be compatible with diagnostic protocols including molecular procedures. When used with NAC‑PAC® RED Digestion and Decontamination Solution, NPC‑67 provides a unique color-change for visual indication of when a sample has reached its optimal pH.

Specifications:

• Quickly stops the decontamination process
• When used with NAC-PAC RED, provides visual color-change indication of neutral pH without titration
• Single test aliquots available
• Compatible with conventional media, instrumented and manual mycobacterial growth systems, and molecular methods
