Diagnostic Collection Tube

TF-Transit Tube is a self-contained system for the collection and transport of Tritrichomonas foetus from bovine preputial or vaginal samples. The proprietary medium is selective for Trichomonas, while inhibiting the growth of other organisms.

TF-Transit Tube is designed to facilitate the identification of T. foetus with PCR technology by providing:

Easy, field-sample inoculation
Improved Trichomonas selectivity with our proprietary “Gold Standard” TF medium
Safe transport and preservation of the specimen
DNA extraction and PCR compatible
Suppression of yeast and bacteria in the sample

Transit Tube is for veterinary specimen transport to be used in conjunction with nucleic acid-based testing, i.e. PCR. Consult your local (e.g., State Department of Agriculture) regulations before use. Some states require that only certified veterinarians collect and submit bovine TF sample.

SPECIFICATIONS
