PrimeStore® MTM

The sample collection device driving molecular testing and innovation. Turning a sample from a variable to a Constant.

Leading laboratories are using PrimeStore MTM to run 510k cleared tests and rapidly developing and validating Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) in the clinical testing field benefiting from all sample types being reduced to nucleic acid from the collection to the lab. Beyond clinical, PrimeStore MTM is impacting testing of challenging and novel sample types from mosquitos to permafrost and everything in between. PrimeStore MTM was optimized (and patented) to provided consistent results from simple samples like nasal swabs to the most challenging samples like tissue and stool.

Successful Inactivation of High-Consequence Pathogens in PrimeStore Molecular Transport Media to include:Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, eastern equine encephalitis, Ebola, Hendra, Japanese encephalitis, Lassa, Marburg, Nipah, Rift Valley fever, and West Nile viruses

Benefits

Better, safer, and more efficient sample collection.

PrimeStore MTM was designed with the belief that nucleic acid quality begins at the moment of collection. Its unique characteristics can accelerate efforts to identify and control seasonal, endemic, and pandemic diseases (such as coronavirus, influenza, M. tuberculosis, and Monkeypox), opening up timely, accurate testing to billions of people in the U.S. and around the world.
