The RTP Mycobacteria Kit contains the pre-filled Extraction Tubes with lyophilized lysis components for genomic DNA isolation from Mycobacteria species from sputum, bronchial lavage samples and small tissue samples. After lysis the samples are transferred to a spin column-based procedure with a total preparation time of PCR templates in just 20 minutes. The kit is CE-marked in compliance with the Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD-Directive). Products which are CE-marked according to the IVD-Directive can be used for diagnostic applications in countries where this directive is recognized. Time saving and safer sample handling: 60 % less pipetting steps and tip consumptionOne lysis tube: Ready To Prep (RTP): pre-filled Extraction Tube with lyophilized lysis components (lysis buffer, Lysozyme, Proteinase K), Carrier RNA, and internal DNA extraction control; stable at room temperatureOptimal processing of different samples: special buffer for reduction of the sample viscosity is includedEnvironment-friendly: less infectious plastic waste due to reduced hands-on stepsTo access the most current user manual please copy and paste the following link into your browser: http://www.stratec.com/share/molecular/Manuals/Single/Pathogens/RTPMycobateriaKit.pdf
