Urine Culture Stabilizer with Boric Acid/Sodium Formate. Stabilizes Urine for up to 72 hours.
Cul-Tect™ features a unique boric acid/sodium formate tablet that protects the viability of urinary tract bacteria for quantitation, culture and identification. The dissolving tablet stabilizes urine specimens for up to 72 hours at room temperature without altering microbiological testing procedures. More effective than boric acid alone, it helps prevent the "over-growth" of incidental organisms (typically skin flora) that may accidentally be introduced into the urine sample. Formulated for gentle bacteriostatic action, it maintains the characteristics of cultures and subcultures.
Cul-Tect™ is convenient for remote specimen collection sites, where delays of a few hours can mean the difference between accurate and inaccurate results. It decreases the need for costly, time-consuming repeat sampling as well as the potential misdiagnosis of urinary tract infections.
Cul-Tect™ comes complete with
boric acid/sodium formate tablets and patient identification labels affixed to each tube, vial and container. The
ID labels contain ample space for writing the collection
time, date, person's name and specimen number. Special
packaging is also available upon request.
For your convenience, we also offer a 30mL Bori-Vial™ that contains the standard boric acid powder formulation.
