Sample collection system designed for molecular assays.
Chaotropic Lysis Buffer lyses the cell membranes preventing bacterial proliferation, inactivating nucleases, and stabilizing Viruses, Bacteria, Chlamydia, Protozoa, and Mycoplasma nucleic acids; thus Chaotropic Lysis Buffer with Swab is not intended to be used for culture-based techniques, but for use with compatible molecular assays.
