In many parts of the world, the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) has rapidly shifted to molecular detection and sequencing formats. The collection and transport of Mycobacterium tuberculosis specimens thus remains a challenging problem where TB is common and the infrastructure required for ensuring sample integrity is lacking. PrimeStore® Molecular Transport Medium (MTM) addresses this problem, rapidly inactivating/killing M. tuberculosis while preserving genomic DNA even at elevated temperatures for subsequent downstream molecular analysis.

More about this publication?

  • The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IJTLD) is for clinical research and epidemiological studies on lung health, including articles on TB, TB-HIV and respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, asthma, COPD, child lung health and the hazards of tobacco and air pollution. Individuals and institutes can subscribe to the IJTLD online or in print – simply email us at [email protected] for details.

    The IJTLD is dedicated to understanding lung disease and to the dissemination of knowledge leading to better lung health. To allow us to share scientific research as rapidly as possible, the IJTLD is fast-tracking the publication of certain articles as preprints prior to their publication. Read fast-track articles.
