Processing

Get to the point in less than 15 minutes

You just need 3 to 10 minutes of incubation at RT to fluidify and decontaminate the sample. A 5-minute centrifuge, supernatant removal, and resuspension will get your sample ready for solid or liquid culture or molecular assay.

Components

An all-in-one kit

Each step of the sample preparation phase is easier, safer, and faster, thanks to the single use kit, pre-measured reagents and tubes requiring no further in-lab preparations.
MycoTB™ is your optimal solution to reduce contamination risks during the handling phase, in-house preparation costs, and reagent waste.

Scientific Mentions

Always faithful to our scientific approach, we are eager to hear the proof of the success of our efforts and commitment.

Browse Studies

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases 2017 – De Geyter D. et al.

The Myco-TB™ decontamination method is easy and rapid to perform. It is more sensitive for culture as compared to the Zephiran method and gives lower contamination levels when combined with the MGIT™ technique.

Discover

New Microbiologica 2020 – Bisognin F. et al.

Samples decontaminated with Myco-TB™ were suitable for molecular assays, i.e., Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay and Genotype CMdirec.

Discover

New Microbiologica 2020 – Bisognin F. et al.

The rapid protocol (3 minutes) reduces the turnaround time compared to MycoPrep; however, longer time of decontamination (up to 10 minutes) with the Myco-TB™ solution did not affect MTBc detection.
